    Great ... nice article some time using this technique, but with only one goal, reversing ring and 35mm mounted to the contrary. A wide-angle reaches 35 as the enlargement ratios even higher than the 50 ;-) . Attention to only add new lenses that have no aperture ring, the reverse allow you to use them only with the aperture fully closed ... you can also open it manually by pulling a lever, but besides being difficult makes it impossible to know the aperture you are using so ... or fully open or fully closed.
    Of course, reversing a lens with the ring you will lose all automatic. There is also a reverse ring to mount the objectives of another goal, and not directly on the body. For the inversion is always best to use fixed ... .. the zoom does not have an adequate quality
