Lens Reversal Ring I have a SLR camera, Canon EOS 55(same as Elan IIe) with a canon lens(28-90mm lens of diameter 58mm). I know that if we reverse fit the lens, we can take some remarkable Macro photos. But I am not able to find the correct kind of adapter ring. I have tried to just hold it reverse and take a couple of photos. It has come out very well. But its very difficult to take the photos. If someone knows of any online shop, or any placein India or South korea, Pl. let me know. Thanks in Advance.

This technique is more versatile with makes other than EOS because the aperture can be controlled more simply. With EF lenses the aperture is controlled electronically, so with a simple reversal ring you can only shoot wide open. Novoflex makes a reversing system that attaches the lens reversed and provides electronic connections to the lens to enable the aperture, but it is quite expensive ($326.50 US at www.bhphotovideo.com). You'd be better money ahead just buying a true macro lens. Otherwise a reversing ring for EOS is a DIY (Do It Yourself) project, using a hollowed out body cap or a discarded EF lens, a step-up ring or spare UV filter, and some glue.
