Caution -- Please don't attempt to use your lenses backwards unless you make a
back
protector first !  It is just too easy to scratch the unprotected rear element.

For some reason, back protectors with a built in stop and a filter ring are a
do it yourself
type of thing.  The lens reversal rings are commercially available (I bought my
for fourteen dollars new at Cal's Cameras in Costa Mesa, California many years
ago).

Be careful with this because the rear lens element could get scratched !

I first used it with a 50 mm 1.8  which is also a useful super macro when
reversed!

PS My ISP has changed to MindSpring -- I will gradually move my web pages
over to www.mindspring.com and I will use a meta refresh tag to redirect
visitors
and advise them to update links, etc.
