Quantifiable macrosity
After experimenting a little more with my reverse macro adapter, I discovered I get higher magnification and less vignetting with the lens as far as possible from the subject, instead of as close as possible. This frame shows 20.5mm of ruler captured by a 22mm sensor for a 1.07:1 ratio, just over the traditional 1:1 ratio that denotes "true" macro photography.
Woohoo!
(This is using the Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens reverse mounted on the end of the Digital Rebel XT 18-55mm kit lens. At full size, it looks like I was slightly off on the focus.)
