About the size of a pencil eraser. Many have asked what I mean by reversed lens so I will try to explain. You get an adapter for your dslr or slr camera that allows you to mount your lens backwards. The front of your lens now becomes the rear element and the rear element becomes the front of the lens. It allows you to get incredibly close. like 1:7 ratio. A macro lens only gives 1:1 unless you use extension tubes or other devices in combination. High f numbers and tons of light are required with lens reversing. Difficult to focus, an all around pain but worth the effort. All comments welcome .
Exif: Exposure Time: 1/500, Flash: 29, Camera Model: NIKON D70
