Lens Reversed - Just gave it a go..... LOL
A very quick attempt at the lens reversing thing.
Just took my 17-85mm lens off, spun it round and held it in place backwards against the front of my camera.
Not very refined I'm afraid as I couldn't seem to focus much further away than 1 or 2 cms hence the MASSIVE scale
not to mention camera shake.
I think with a reversing ring and a tripod it could prove to be worthwhile though.
Tried a 1p coin but couldn't fit it in the frame so here's the Queens nose on a 1p coin
(full frame)
The end of a grain of rice(full frame)
