Description
I use a compact cam Canon (completely manual) and on this mount an optical for a 35mm camera reversed ( 50 milimeter Nikon f/1.8) the shots are often taken with short times of exposure (1/400 or 1/500) and the use of the flash is indispensable. the trouble is that the Canon A80 does not support external flash and and so I use a panel with a white background of parabolic shape to reflect it. I zoom x3 (about 100mm) and open to the maximum (f/1.8) in 50mm in order to avoid vignettings.you can take good macroshots but the field of focusing is much strait (about 2 milimeter)......and this is really a great great trouble....
some shots taken with this technique:

Amazing, what you can bring out with this "technic"
I also have a compact cam, til now I wanted a DSLR, but I think I only will buy lenses for the compact
(how did you know, what brand is compatible?)

OHHHHHH quanto tempo non vedevo usare un trucchetto simile!!!!!!
Mi ricorda un'epoca passata in cui fotografare costava molto e c'erano pochi soldi...
E' commovente, ed allo stesso tempo confortante.
Bravo, buona realizzazione.

I'm trying something like this myself, and I'd like to know how did you mount the reversed lens? At the moment I have to hold mine by hand, which is a little tricky... Any other tips would be much appreciated

you need:
1_a canon adapter ( the black one)...I used this for my cam: [link]
2_a ring (the silver one) to convert the screw of the adapter to the screw of the lens (hand made by a turner)

Thanks

my adapter had a 50mm diam...
if your adapter have a 55mm.... you must buy a ring 49-->55
good luck and write me again if you need my help!

may i know why the need for reflector? and how do u attach the white relector?
π: 0 β©: 1
it's attached with a stupid piece of metal 
you must use this because the flash, when fired, is covered by the additional lens (50mm) and so without this technique the shot will be underexposed

This is really interesting ... and I'm really interested

i've used only a canon adapter and a ring (the silver one) to convert the screw of the adapter to the screw of the lens
π: 0 β©: 0
the pics u've taken with this camera are great! i wanna have this too!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
about 15$ for the conversion ring...15$ for the canon adapter and the 50mm...mmm....90$ or less? I'm not sure

nothing special it'a a normal nikon 50 mm F 1.8
π: 0 β©: 0
when you do "normal" distant pictures like Kiss Of Light, you use this nikon in normal position or some other stuff?
π: 0 β©: 1
nono I don't use it, I remove it and use only the lens of the A80
this 50mm nikon is only for macroshot, and I use it only in reversed position

WOW.. can you tell me how this works?
I didn't know lenses could be used backwards like this.. how did you attach it?

ahah sta cosa artigianale mi affascina!!! bellissimo!!!
dici che posso farla anche io con la mya sony dsc p-73?
ho notato che intorno all' obiettivo ci sono degli attacchi...
π: 0 β©: 1
gli attacchi sono 2, uno della canon e uno artigianale fatto fare da un tornitore 
π: 0 β©: 1
mhhh ho appena visto sul catalogo sony e ho visto che la cosa si potrebbe fare... ma non so se il giuoco vale la candela...

Comunque secondo me Γ¨ il lato artigianale della cosa a farti onore...
(occhio, la tua frase si poteva fraintendere... eh eh

...E' bello vedere che la nostra Canoncina possa fare tante cose...
Anch'io dovrei comprare qualche vestitino alla A80...
