Exactly what I needed for some macro photography. Works great. The genuine Nikon BR-2A is perfectly machined and solid.

Rock solid like Nikon always offers. Good performance, crisp photos

I attended a workshop on Macro. At the time I didn't own a Macro lens so I purchased a BR-2A 52mm lens reversing ring and a BR-3 adaptor. This enabled me to reverse mount my prime 35 mm lens and participate in the macro class. It was very cumbersome to use but it worked. Since then I have purchased a 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens so I don't see me using the reversing ring again, but you never know. My camera body is a Nikon D7100.

It doesn't lock the lens in place or itself

Works perfectly and turns my wide angle Nikkor with a 52mm filter thread into a nice, inexpensive micro lens. The lens fits the adapter and camera securely, and with reasonable attention, it won't drop off. Recommend highly. I adjust the focus by moving the camera rather than by rotating the focus ring, and I use Nikon's R1C1 lighting kit which provides, with the close-up adapters, a bright even light over the subject.

I use it with a Voigtlander 40mm f/2 and it works perfectly.

Works really well and easy to attach. Feels very sturdy and I expect it to have a long life span.

Seems to be a bit thick on the camera side, it will not turn until it clicks in on a D610. Other than that, it works as it should.

I use with a 50mm lens for macro photos of bugs. it works smoothly to put on and off. Love the comments from people that something is wrong with the lens on my camera LOL.

Super solid build, and attached to the front of my 50mm with no difficulty. Quality of the reverse lens macro shots were excellent. If you want to experiment with macro w/o paying a small fortune for the lens - I highly recommend this product!

I use it to flip my Nikkor 50 for macro work. For the money it is a great tool! 4 inches from lens seems to be perfect focus. Use a tripod and have your lens set to f22. So. Much. Fun. I was worried that this was just a gimmick, but I am sold on this as a very inexpensive macro setup.

This is an inexpensive way to get good macros on a Nikon. It produces surprisingly good results (see my images) It's very well made and I am not concerned that my reversed lens will fall off anytime while I am making the shot. You do suffer from the issue of loosing considerable f-stops of light (that's true even if you use bellows), but nothing that a steady hand, tripod or long exposure can't fix.

I use this on my D90 with my 50mm lens and works great

It mount easily and securely on both the body and lens. The ring is well-made. Not a fancy piece of gear, but it opened up the world of macro photography for just a small amount of money.

It's made of metal (not plastic) and connects beautifully and solidly to the camera and the lens. Too bad it can't preserve AF :-)

Great magnification on short lenses. Be sure that you have an aperture ring on your lens, otherwise you won't be able to adjust the aperture easily. The BR-2A feels solid and durable, but similar non-brand products can be found a lot cheaper.

it's a ring so thankfully it's round--what can i say

I bought this specifically to mount on my 50mm f/1.8 nikkor. It takes a little getting used to at first since the working distance is less than a few inches and you MUST use a flash if you are in any environment short of a sunny day. The images turn out great with a large depth of field (>f16). The only drawback of it that cannot be helped if using a prime is the lack of focus adjustment. With a real macro, you can control how far away your subject is and focus on it, but with the reversal ring, you can only crop your shot at a single magnification. Also, if you screw the ring on tight enough (but not too tight!) to the lens, you will not have any issues with it falling off.

It is a good product for a special use.

I find this product of great help in doing macro photography.

Cheap and easy way to experiment with macro photography if you already have a 50mm lens. Everything is manual, focus is challenging, and your lens is exposed, but it works as designed.

The BR2A screws into the lens without any problem but it does not lock in to the camera body and the lens wants to fall off the camera when I try to focus or change the aperture.

Great product for macro photography.

This is the Nikon ring & I am using a Nikon D40x & Nikon lens. It will not recognize that a lens is attached. Maybe it's operator error but I can't get it to work.

This has been a terrific solution for lens lust on a budget. The challenge of all "M" shooting (including focus by movement) is one that only adds to the enjoyment and pure fun of reversing the outstanding and versatile 50mm lens. I enjoy my macro shoots (attempts anyway) each time I go out with the 50mm reversed with this ring. It is solid, and I don't worry about losing the lens off my camera. It is just too much fun.
