Macro Setup Components
These are the components of the setup I use for my extreme macros.
I reverse-mount a Nikon 50mm f/1.4D prime lens on a Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G telephoto lens using a 52-62mm thread coupler I got on eBay.
Reversed prime lenses act as magnifying glasses. In my setup, I use a telephoto lens to zoom into a reversed prime lens, producing extreme levels of magnification.
This particular lens setup produces images with irritating chromatic aberrations, dust spots, and minimal field depth. Nevertheless, none of my other lenses - including my conventional macro lens - can match it in terms of magnification.
