Description
This tutorial describes how to reverse a common lens to get true macro shots. It also shows how to build a suitable, unexpensive, light source to be used with the reversed lens. Though most of the info applies to DSLR cameras, there are useful suggestions for compact digital cameras and traditional SLR cameras too.This PDF document is the light-weight version of the document (all images have been stripped out) - about 450 KB.

In your tutorial you mention using two lenses, and reversing the second with a reversing ring. There is a cheap way to make a reversing ring that is very effective. Get a filter mount for each lens. If you buy the same filter mount brand, the outside flange diameters of the mounts will match up (not necessary, but nice). Attach the mounts onto their respective lens. Reverse the second lens so it's filter mount is face to face with the primary lens and clamp together using vise grips or A-clamps Β or.....clamps. For a more permanent attachment drill matching holes in each of the mount flanges and use screws to mate them together.
