Reversed Sigma 24mm, f11 focusing on droplets. All handheld 1/200, ISO 100

side of the above

Let me know your thoughts.... You can spend hours photographing with macro and never leave a spot the size of your car.....

Nice macro's as usual Wapiti. What other lens were you using with the 24mm? Will the reversing work with any two lenses that you can attach together with a reversing ring?

Thanks clutch. The 24mm lens is mounted backwards on the camera using a reversing ring. Focus is obtained by positioning the camera closer or further from the subject.

The wider angle the lens, the more magnification, primes are better than zooms for reversing. It's like turning binoculars around backwards to use a magnifying glass.

Reversing a lens on another lens is called reverse stacking and can give microscopic images, but vignetting is a problem there.
