Aperture Thingy
I guess I forgot to post this but this was taken while I was working on it. I took my kenko extension tubes which are designed to pass the signal through to the lens and I drilled 1/16th holes at 90 degrees to each of the 8 pins on two of the rings (little bit tricky). I drilled a hole in the side of the tube to feed some wires through and soldered the wires to connect the two tubes so that they can be physically seperated but still electrically connected. I added a DB9 connector in the middle for good measure after this pic was taken and cleaned things up a bit.
The idea is that one tube goes right on the camera body and the other one goes on my reversed lens so as far as the camera is concerned, the reversed lens is still connected, TTL, EXIF, Aperture...it's all there baby!
