EF-S 18-55 Kit

[scrumpy]

Don't laff - but I was looking for a missing lens cap yesterday and thought it may still be in the 400D box which I haven't seen since the day I bought the camera. Thinking the box was rather heavy - guess what? In the bottom I found this kit lens which I have never seen before because I bought the 400D 'Body Only.' :rolleyes:
My question: Can I reverse this lens? If yes, what do I need to get it to work?
Sorry for the long story. Posting here 'cause I know most of you guys have all tried this.

Lucky find :)
Yes you can reverse it- you need a 58mm reverse eos body adapter - you can often find them on ebay.
Some tips on setup and capability here
