Have you ever wanted to experiment with macro photography, but do not have the budget to buy a lens appropriate?
In this video, in English, Jim ProPhotolife shows us a little trickery to get 1:1 magnification using 2 lenses.

Ottenere foto macro col reverese ring If this technique is to your liking, then you can also buy a "reversing ring" that allows you to achieve the same result without having to manually connect to each other two goals. The reversing ring (you can find it for even a few dollars on ebay) is a ring designed to mount the lens on the camera body on the other hand, reverses the function.

    Great ... nice article some time using this technique, but with only one goal, reversing ring and 35mm mounted to the contrary. A wide-angle as the 35 magnification ratios also reaches more than 50 ;-) . Attention to only add new lenses that have no aperture ring, you can reverse those using them only with the diaframm all 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.
    Obviously, reversing a lens with the ring you will lose all automatic. There is also a ring for mounting the objectives in reverse on another objective, and not directly on the body. For the reverse is always best to use fixed ..... the zoom does not have an adequate quality
