50mm 1.8 reversed on Tamron 90mm..first attempts

I wanted to get up close and personal to some of the smaller insects so tried reversing my 50 mm on to the tamron..i had to hold it in front of the lens. I need to work on my lighting a bit more.

Shame the grass stalk is blown on this

great pink trichome shots

Excellent shots considering the method you used- - you must have very small darter dragonflies though

Very impressive shots Alistair

I tried reversing my old FD 50mm on my 100 and found it extremely difficult to focus with bad vignetting. Well done.

Thanks very much Brian...i was hoping to get a close up shot of the eyes on the ruddy darter but it was having none of it..

Thank you very much Bernie..funnily enough only a couple of shots showed any vignetting which surprised me. The focus wasnt as much of a problem as i thought but slightest movement was seriously exagerated.

Im teetering on the fence as to wether i should purchase the MPe-65..there is a shop local to me with one in stockI would definatley enjoy it.
