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.

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).
