Macro For Cheap With Reverse Macro Technique For Any DSLR Type Part 1

[BnVFXProductionsHD]

Can you do reverse macro with any lens or does it have to be like 50mm...

[slyn4ice]

so, you basically spent 6 min to tell people to buy an adapter. wtf

[portealactico]

can i do this,with a nikon d3100?

[riteshmkrishna]

@portealactico yep, you can but only in the manual mode....

They have this piece on ebay for a lot of camera's. I looked up my Nikon d90 and the reverse macro ring was only $5.48 usd

[glennposadas01]

hi sir. can I use such thing in my Nikon D40? when I try to do that, it says that : NO LENS ATTACHED T_T

[TheTechjunky]

@glennposadas01 hmmm......set the camera and lens focus to manual mode

[glennposadas01]

@TheTechjunky hey sir. thank you very much ^_^. by the way, last question. I do not have reverse ring yet. but when I remove the lens and set the dial on to "MANUAL", it is ok, however, my problem is, how about the aperture? I cannot set aperture, only the shutter speed. aperture displays : ---------

[TheTechjunky]

@glennposadas01 There should be a button in the front of the camera near the lens that closes the aperture blades for preview. Set the aperture to whatever you like and press that button. Then while holding down the button remove the lens. This way the aperture will remain in that position when you do the reverse mount.

@TheTechjunky, thank you for sharing this great video. can you explain in more detail on how to set the aperture? i hold the depth of field button near the lens on my canon 500d and reverse the lens as you suggested, but the aperture simply shows 00. thanks in advance

[TheTechjunky]

@sawitduren When you do reverse mount the electrical sensors are on the outside and not touching the camera body so there is no communication between the lens and camera. Thats why you see the aperture as 0. As long as you have a good picture this shouldnt matter.

[riteshmkrishna]

the lens has a sort of a lever attached to it which controls the size of the aperture... if you just hold the lens and fiddle with the lever, you'll see the field of view increase/ decrease... however the display on the cam would continue to show the default aperture size at which the lever comes back to whenever you disconnect the lens from the camera body...

@glennposadas01 maybe u oughta buy an adapter

[lovestofapp]

Does this mounting system work for macro purposes specifically, or does it work decently as a telephoto lens as well?

[TheTechjunky]

@lovestofapp This will only work for macro as far as I know. To do telephoto you can use extension tubes with kit lenses

[1312tube]

I tried this technique. I can see my object clearly when i focus, but after I take the shot it just gives me a black in the screen. Can anyone please give me camera settings.

[TheTechjunky]

@1312tube Try increasing your shutter speed and set the apreature to low setting. It depends on where you are shooting. If its in low light then slow shutter speed is needed to allow enough light in. and keep the camera steady.

[meowtrox]

@1312tube lower your f-stop , increase your ISO , Add flash and make sure the exposure of the flash is not too high, then you will get a good picture make sure you have a steady hand. or if you cant, use a tripod

Your presentation was very useful and helped me find a way to use my Nikon D200 and my Suiko 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 MF lens, tokina 28mm f2.8, Nikkor 105mm f2.5, and Tamron 70-210mm f4-5.6 for macro . The use of REVERSE coupling rings (as you presented in the video) is far better and easier to control than trying to stack heavy lenses together using flimpsy coupling rings.

Thankyou for your help!
