Reverse Ring for Macrophotography






Almost everyone enjoys macrophotography and I've been longing to have macro lenses so I would be able take great pictures of bugs, waterdrops, etc. But, I took these pictures only using my 18-55 kit lens and a "reverse ring". Ordinary lenses can be used for macrophotography by using reverse ring. This ring attaches to the filter thread on the front of a lens and makes it possible to attach the lens in reverse or to attach the lens to your body's camera. Reverse ring is really cheap. It cost you only Rp 100.000-125.000 (note: I bought it 2 years ago), while macro lenses price could be around Rp 4.000.000-more.

So for anyone that really craving to learn macrophotography, maybe you should try using reverse ring. Enjoy!

    @tasia: oh really? does it work like super wide angle lens? I have one and it costs Rp 350.000, but it's not really work for me. And anyway, we can create fisheye effects in photoshop. LOL.

  5. @prilly: aku juga udah punya extension tube sih, tapi ternyata jarang aku pake. karena ada vignette kalo pake extension tube, asa jadi gak maksimal kalo mau motret wide. Lagian keduanya beda fungsi juga hehe, kalo emang lebih pengen eksperimen sih aku enakan reverse ring, karena jadi motret2 hal2 yang gak biasa kita foto. Tapi kalo km emang pingin motret yang wide, yah gpp juga beli extension tube :D
