The desperate needs for this type of photography has prompted me to dabble in the dark arts of reverse lensing

Very cool what was your reversing setup made from?

Reverse macro can do some very powerful stuff.

Here's some pollen







Please mind my dirty sensor ;~; I need to clean it.

55-250mm at around 120, 50mm1.8 on reverse
only problem i have with reversing is the ridiculously shallow dof

You'll find that in most cases, anything more than 1:1 magnification is going to give some pretty insanely shallow DOF. Focus stacking is almost necessary for me at 5:1 magnification (though sometimes I just shoot at f/16 and hope for the best :l) you definitely cannot shoot wide open at anything more than 1:1.

This is a pretty intense alternative to reversing lenses or using a macro lens, I would love to try it. But pricey : | generally.

Keep playing with macro

I almost want to try stack focus but its pretty much out of the question as I do not have a connector for a reverse lens setup so I am just kind holding it together
+crappy tripod that is unstable enough to screw up a video recording at 250mm zoom so I don't think stacking macro at that resolution will work.

btw do you by any chance know how the 500mm (both the long one and the mirrored one) optek telephoto lenses are overall. Reviews are kind of both sides with the value/price but I don't know how much the lack of IS is going to cripple me in terms of in general-use.

From what i can see, there are some issues with ghosting (probably shooting wide open), but I'm guessing it's not absolutely terrible. But for the price, you're not going to have the same kind of optics system all around. The image isn't as defined, or as sharp as you would have with a lens dedicated to defining the details at the 500mm length. That's the issue I see with it-- it can certainly reach 500mm well, but the image details it reports back with are not precise enough to get you an image you'd probably be really happy with.

Depends what you're going to be using it for, I suppose. For certain styles of imagery or video, it would work fine.

For the price, I would recommend looking for something else that can reach up to the 500mm range (or equivalent on a crop sensor camera) that doesn't have a constant f/8 aperture, and perhaps has a zoom. But alas, it depends what you want to use it for.

Also, summore:
