Since Corry was asking for this for so long, I made a video for how to make a super macro with your camera and a SLR lens. If you haven't already seen, these take near microscopic pictures of everyday things.
Like everyday table salt.

Anyway, here's (http://www.fatephoto.com/Aubrey/Tutorials/tute.WMV) the tutorial.
I don't really understand still what is required for this technique. On a standard film camera, (I have a Canon Rebel Ti), approximately what length lens is required to zoom through the second lens, and what length lens should the second lens be? Do either lenses have to be prime, and what do both lenses have to have their focusing rings set to? Also, does the second lens have to be designed for your camera? I only own one lens, but my school has several that are FD mounts, and I wonder if they could work in front of my EF mount lens. I appreciate any replies.
An early congrats to ya then. :D
Um...ok, but I have a bayonet mount on my camera...it doesn't screw in.
Ok, I need to know how I am to do this cause I am still lost :lol: Man I am a dope.............
Will that method work with ANY SLR??? I have an old Canon AE-1 Program. And what exactly is a skylight filter? And how much do they run?
haha sweet vid :D

Yeees. Unfortunately! I plan to order my 300D in about a week if everything goes right, though! :)
This is pretty cool! Good tip!
Canon AE-1 Program...but I might have it figured out sorta...not a good solution, but I think it will work. I did what Garbz said in your guessing game thread in Themes...it seems to work, and I'm already addicted!
Thanks for the advice, I'll try it out today in photo class :)
What kind of camera do you have??
Most excellent tutorial hobbes! Im gonna give it a whirl!
I just turn ONE lens around and hold it up to the camera...not a perfect solution, but it does work!And it won't cost ya anymore money! :) C++ Annotations Version 4.3.1:: Most modern C++ compilers support a `super-macro-mechanism' which allows The `super-macro-mechanism' which is offered by templates can be used to define http://www.eng.usyd.edu.au/tutorial/course1/cplusplus14.htmlHOME | Supermacro with Canon 350D set lens 18-55:: Supermacro with Canon 350D set lens 18-55.

It works on every camera as long as you have enough zoom to get through the reversed lens. I use the skylight because it only cost 5 bucks. You can get a coupler that has male threads on both sides so you don't have to use tape but they cost a bit more.
I'm not sure but I believe that it's easier (or required) that the second (reversed) lens is a prime lens.
I think it's also best if the reversed lens has a shorter focal length than the main lens.
Jesse, The reversed lens does not have to be compatible with your camera...it just has to be reversed onto the front of of the lens that is on your camera. (yes an FD lens will work)
This is best done with a reverse macro coupling.
I am going to go try it right now.........
Are you taking them all with film??? Does that mean we're gonna have to wait to see what you're taking???
Nope, I am just retarded :lol:
Oh, also, will my light meter work through the second lens? And what appeture should I set the reversed lens to? And what should happen if the second lens is electronic, and it has to be attached to a camera to alter the apperture?
I know I asked a lot of questions, but I would appreciate any responses.
