I just found out you can get a "Reverse Mount Macro Adapter" that'll do this for you for under $15 on ebay! My GF just surprised me with one... and its freakin awesome. That way you dont have to hold it so steady, and you can adjust your focus a ton easier!

I tried it and love it the only thing is that its soo hard to focus anything. But its a fun challenge.

Lara how much practice did you do before it worked, mine just turned out a big blurry blur. How close should you be?

i got really excited when this was posted. but then i tried it on my 400d and all the pictures i could get were vague blotches of colour.
i'm sure it's just me!

You can actually buy a proper adapter to physically screw the lens on backwards.
You can also set the aperture by setting it with the lens mounted normally, pushing the DOF preview button and removing the lens.
Nice tutorial.

Generally this is a very good technique, but on cameras such as the 5D due to the sensor being full frame, I generally would advice against it,due to risk of dust 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah I bought one after some time cause i was worried about dust - my camera is a bit messy inside actually.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
What about 400d?
It has a dust remover=/
Thanks for the tut.
It really helped=]

im not sure, sorry! you may have to test it out..
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
and if you try and clean it yourself and mess up, then its alot of money down the drain! I have to send my 5D back for cleaning soon, but I cant bare to part with it
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
wish i had the 5D! lucky!

Took a while to save up, well worth it if you want to do landscape, but you do mainly portrait if I am correct in assuming, your probably best off with what you have, unless you want mirror lock up, full frame sensor ect ect
