Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon BR2A Lens Reversing Ring 52mm Thread
Customer Review: Solid little gadget for getting started with Macro
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this to use on my D90 with an old 50mm Series-E 1.8 manual lens that was handed down to me. The lens was full manual anyway so I wasn't losing any functionality by flipping it.
The ring: The ring is solid metal and very sturdy feeling. Whether you trust hanging the weight of your lens off of your camera by the strength of the filter threads alone is up to your own anxiety level. For me, hanging an old, free, and light weight lens off it doesn't bother me at all.
Results: well the ring "just works" for me. Photographic results come down to the lens you use and your technique. For me I find that using this with my old 50mm lens works much better than using a set of close-up filters on my 18-105mm kit lens for not much more money.
Recommendations: I would get the BR-3 ring to go with this so you can put a filter over the back end of your lens once you've flipped it around. You'll be working pretty close to your subject and it could easily be bumped against the lens. As others have hinted, it's very helpful to use a lens with a manual aperture ring on it. What I do is open the aperture wide enough to see my subject and get a feel for the focus and depth of field. Then I crank the f-stop to 8+ (depending on light availability) to widen the depth of field. Bright Sun or a flash will help you push your f-stop further. Without TTL metering, you'll have to set your flash manually. Also you had better know your way around your camera settings since you'll be in Full Manual (M) mode to use this.
Description of Nikon BR2A Lens Reversing Ring 52mm Thread
Fits between the camera and lens to enable reverse-mounting of lenses. It is an inexpensive means of obtaining a relatively high reproduction ratio. The BR-2A also increases the working distance for normal or wideangle lenses. The BR-2A is compatible with lenses that have a 52mm front attachment size.Adapter Rings
