Intermediate Macro Techniques: What is the BEST Reverse-mount Lens for Macro Work?

A comment on one of my videos spurred a debate with a friend: What type of lens works best for a reverse-mount macro? This video tests various lenses from 24mm to 200mm to see how well they magnify an Australian $2 coin. In fact, the video opens with a photo from the best performer. You may be surprised by the results. Some of the results certainly surprised me. Reverse-mounting a lens for macro use is pretty simple, with an adapter. For about $5 (USD), you can pick up a new, bargain-basement reverse adapter ring on eBay. That can serve you pretty well for a LOT of macro work. The lenses I used: Nikon Nikkor-Q 200mm 1:4 Nikon Nikkor-Q 125mm 1:3.5 Nikon Nikkor-P 105mm 1:2.5 (this wasn't tested, unfortunately, due to a bent filter ring.) Canon 100mm 1:4 (1:1 macro) in FD mount Sigma 50mm 1:2.8 (1:1 macro) Takumar 50mm 1:1.4 Tokinal-EL 28mm 1:2.8 Canon 24mm 1:2.8 in FD mount Nikon Nikkor Zoom 43-86mm 1:3.5 Nikon Series E 36-72mm 1:3.5 To check out my photography blog, follow this link: http://beyondbokeh.blogspot.com/
