I put my 50mm onto my camera and the used a 58mm-to-52mm adapter ring and reversed mounted my 28-200mm to it. Very shallow depth of field. This is an image of a towel. Going off to tinker a bit more with this.... TMG

Looks great :) So are you finding hte 50mm works best direct on the camera? I was under the impression that when people use reversed lenses they put the 50mm on the end of the longer lens. But hey, whatever works I say :) :) Looking forward to seeing the results of the tinkers!

I did something similar a while back and like Wivelrod said, I put the 50mm on the end. I got shots like this: The coin is just over an inch wide.

I did use the 50mm on the end. Duh, my mistake. Anyway, here is another... I should use a tripod to reduce the blur from shakiness. TMG
