Yeah pretty cool hey , Ive got an old 28mm that i am going to get a reverse ring for. That i should be able to fill the frame with the eye

@grunt_408 , how does that work out looking through the view finder with the reverse ring????

I got one ordered for my stock 18-55 Canon lens and just wondering how that is going to work looking through the view finder. :fear:

At first it might be 'Holy Cow' :laugh:

Does the lens you plan to use have the manual aperture control or else u have to tape that lever to keep the lens wide open.

Oh yea, good thinking man!!!!! I don't think it does have the manual aperture control. Being the "kit" lens I don't believe it does.

It takes some getting used to. The more extension tubes you add the harder it does get to see things. Obviously you move in and out to focus. A lot of bugs are easier to do at night anyway as they tend to not be so oblidged to fly away on you. And at night i just put a worklight on my subject so i can see. My lens is an old manual aperture one which is best for this kind of thing as it saves having to set manually ( Canon ) or use the lever ( Nikon) Dont ask me about other brands lol. hope this helps

EDIT:

Your kit lens will be just fine for this at the wider end it will be super hard to use as it is the opposite of wide when reversed.. On Canon to manualy set the aperture you put the lens on normally and then set the aperutre to say f8 or f11 i would go f8 while you are getting used to using it. then hold the depth of field preview button in and dismount the lens while holding the dof button.

It does actually look like the fly is being raped, so yes, I think it's technically some messed up porn

Mussels · Mar 2, 2016

pretty sure its a crime to snap pics of a spider performing oral sex on a fly.
