reversing ring
neat little gadget to have in the bag ... lot's of fun w/day-day items for close-up studies ... you lose the auto- lens controls, but it's fun to experiment w/old school skills ...

Works just as advertised
This is a very straightforward item. Attach to the front of the lens and mount to camera. It works. I've been making more use of my Canon EF-S 18-55m than I ever have with this adapter. I highly recommend giving this a shot.

Great way to get started with macro!
This reversing ring is what got me started doing macro. Be careful, It's addicting!

Works as Expected
This product performed exactly as expected, and has provided the ability to convert a standard kit lens into a macro lens for minimal cost.
As a cautionary note - it does require some skill to use the reversed lens set-up and it is obviously not as good as a dedicated macro lens

Great entry level macro tool.
The camera side of the adapter fits my body and extension tubes well. The lens side fits all my lenses, but it could benefit from having one more thread.
The lack of aperture control is not a big drawback since the depth of field is incredible shallow for any macro photography method aside from a dedicated $$$$ lens.
I should have gotten a macro focusing rail at the same time.

Excellent inexpensive accessory
Additional lighting is required when using Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens reversed and set at ca. 30-18mm due to the lens's relatively small (f3.5-5.6) aperture.
When using a fixed focal length (prime) lens of large aperture (f1.2-1.4) composition and focus may be achieved with the lens wide open then stopped down for more depth of field. Use of a sturdy tripod is helpful.
The adapter works perfectly. Smooth and snug fit.

58mm Reversing Ring
Threads well with the kit 18-55mm lens allowing a cheap alternative to a macro lens. Very limited depth of field because the backwards lens will not "talk" to the camera (thus the camera defaults to a wide open aperture).
