Reddit reviews Fotodiox RB2A 52mm Filter Thread Lens, Macro Reverse Ring Camera Mount Adapter, for Nikon D1, D1H, D1X, D2H, D2X, D2Hs, D2Xs, D3, D3X, D3s, D4, D100, D200, D300, D300S, D700, D800, D800E, D40, D50, D60, D70, D70S, D80, D40X, D90, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D7000, Fuji S1, S2, S3, S5

Gonna kinda buck the system. I bought a D3200 with the 18-55 and 55-200 kit lenses. For macro shots, I bought this reversing ring that I put onto the 18-55, and it's pretty fun to play with. I also grabbed this aperture ring sui that I wouldn't have to hold the little finger by hand.

Obviously this isn't really a professional setup, but it does everything I need, and takes plenty good quality pictures for me.

Si pentru /u/beer_and_pain

Daca vrei sa ai niste wow moments ia un obiectiv decent de 50mm f1/8

E cea mai buna chestie pe care o poti cumpara pentru aparatul tau.

in plus poti sa iei ceva de genul : https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Reverse-Camera-Adapter-filter/dp/B001G4NBSC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1536862281&sr=1-1&keywords=Fotodiox+52mm+Macro+Reverse+Ring+Camera+Mount+Adapter+for+using+Nikon+SLR+Camera+and+lens+with+52mm+filter+thread si ai o lentila macro bestiala (fara autofocus dar e tot wow).

This. Although I would like to add the danger of bumping your glass when free-lensing and scratching the elements. If you're going to reverse the lens, you can get a reverse adapter (yes, they sell those) that will help keep errant dust out, or you can just make sure to air blow the lens and sensor before reattaching the lens.

I don't use nikon, so I'm not too sure here.

But I would get:

• Fotodiox tubes
  
• YN-560 Flash
  
• Any TTL Cord
  
• Any 50mm with an aperture ring. An old Nikon would work great, or anything else that you can adapt. No need to worry about losing infinity focus because it's macro.
  
• Fotodiox reverse mount ( http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Filter-Reverse-Adapter-Cameras/dp/B001G4NBSC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369447429&sr=1-1&keywords=fotodiox+nikon+reverse+lens+mount ). Make sure you get it in the same size as the filter thread of your lens.
  
  
  So you can either use the 50mm on tubes for regular macro, the 50mm reversed for a little bit closer, or the 50mm reversed on tubes for Thomas Shahan super macro.

If I might recommend one more thing to spice up your macro world, it would be a reversing ring. Stick it on your fast 50mm (or 35mm) and it's pretty neat. Definately leaning more in the artsy/lomo world doing this, as the DOF is super tiny, and you basically have to get 'right on top' of your subject, but, hey, it is cheap, cool fun. I have been using a pair of cheap LED flashlights to illuminate whatever it is I'm messing with.

Extension tubes have no glass, air is air. Kenko tubes perform every bit as good optically as Nikon. A set of three is $129. Not much chance finding a set for $40.

They will probably perform best with the prime 35mm, but you may prefer the focal length of one of the zooms, and quality may be acceptable.

What does fit in your budget is a reversing ring for that 35mm - $35. There are off brands that are cheaper, but I have not researched the mechanical quality.

Considering the cost, reversing rings give great results. A very common way to find out if you like macro. This writer likes the generic brand of rings. $12.00

If you want to get started much cheaper try out any reverse lens mounts. It allows you to mount your lens using the threads on the front. It's produces fantastic macro images.

Something like this. Now I shoot canon but nothing is different. I've used this method many times. It will work great with you 18-55. The zoom will allow you to make some slight adjustments to how close you want to be.

One of the downfalls though is you physically have to move to get your image to be in focus. The pay off is marvellous though.

I know I didn't answer your question but hopefully I was if help. Happy shooting.

what camera do you have? and what lenses?

The best macro you will get on the cheap is using a reverse ring filter or

good luck

That's the lens I used to take this picture with on my D80! I love it. Probably my favorite lens. I also bought this reverse ring to use with this lens and take macros. I haven't done many, but I'm experimenting.

Just a Nikon D5100 and a kit lens. For the picture of my Wham'n Watermelons, I used this Reverse Mount

Nikon D90 with a set of extension tubes and a reverse mounted, decently small aperture 50mm lens. It's also possible to mount two lenses together for even more magnification.

Lol x_x

I think you were looking for this though? Lol

I only advise that if time is an issue, maybe buy the ring from a reputable shop rather than an ebayer in china. they come up with the goods but it can take upwards of a month to get to you. Here's one on amazon for 9 dollars or adorama for 12. Otherwise the product is identical.

Nice! Get a reverse ring adapter and you can turn a regular lens into a macro. Just have to get the right size threading for your lens.

cool. so something like this?
