Approaching zero when reversed.

[izthistaken]

Focal distance depends on where you have the lens zoomed, but it's really close say 2-3 inches?

Reversing ring adapter, threads into the front of lenses where filters attach.

Macro ftw! :D Lovely captures..

Yes, no adapter this time, just free lensing it. Thanks.

or by using a reversing ring which connects onto the lens mount. i haven't done it in quite some time, but i took these a couple years ago:









by the way, I have no stabilized lenses anymore, just fast glass. if you need small apertures, use a tripod instead of being dependent on a stabilization system.
