Reversed Lens Macro

When I were to fill the frame of 24x36mm image with 3mm of ruler, the magnification is 36 divided by 3 which equals a 12x magnification.

 

Here is what I used to provide enough extension to fill the frame of my Fuji X-Pro1 with a 3mm subject:

 

1. A Nikon F to Fuji X adapter between the Fuji X-Pro1 body and the Nikon PB-4 bellows.

 

2. A Nikon BR2 reverse lens adapter between the bellows and the reversed 28mm f/3.5 Nikon lens.

 

If I wanted to replace my 28mm Nikon lens with my 23mm Fuji X lens, all I would need is an adapter to connect the 62mm filter thread of the Fuji lens to the 52mm filter thread of the BR2 reverse adapter. However, why bother because all shots would be at f/1.4 due to no way to change the electronically controlled f-stop.
