Mark, Gena, those look really good.I was tempted to buy a maco lens after Jims 
presentation, but decided to save my money for a new camera body.

Gena...Looking good. This 
'reversing lens' isn't too practical in real life...just too limiting and slow. 
Can't imagine using it chasing a bug down. The easiest and best way is to 
use a real macro lens...but they run about $1K+(100mm+, 2.8, 
stabilized) vs. the $5. adapter ring. Which lens were you using reversed? 
It seemed to magnify more than my 28mm. 

  

  
  Hey Mark, Thanks for your help.  I am attaching my 
  attempt.  They aren't as good as yours but this was without the focusing 
  rail or my tripod.  Can't wait to play with this in the 
  morning.

  When reversing the lens...make 
  sure you switch to all manual...focusing and exposure control. My 
  setup was being difficult using live view and flash on a cable...probably 
  OE!  The focusing rail sure makes focusing easier...well worth the 
  $15. 
  
    

    That's cool. I pulled out all old lenses but can't seem to get them to 
    work. Maybe someone can help me Thursday night

      This is what happens when you sit in on Jim 
      Feig's macro programs. Trying out my new toys from Hong Kong 
      Ebay...focusing rail and lens reversing adapter. Dug out a old Albinar 
      28mm from the film days. The penny is a poor subject...just wanted a idea 
      of the magnification. FYI...the 28mm magnifies much more than a 
      50mm.
