In this tutorial I am going to show how to convert your ordinary kit lens into a macro lens using the reverse lens ring. This is one of the simplest and inexpensive way to shoot macro photography.
All you need is A reverse lens ring which cost about 9-10 dollars and double sided tape. The reverse ring size for Nikon is 52mm which perfectly match to the filter thread for the lens
First,
I recommend that you attach the reverse ring first before you are going to attach it to the DSLR body. Make sure that it is tight but not too much.
Second,
Now that the reverse ring was attached, you need to to remove the lens and put it in reverse. Be careful in doing this.
Third,
You need to make sure the aperture lever on the lens are open, if you don't know where is the lever, please refer to the pictures below, the red circles is the lever. There are many ways to make sure that the aperture remains open, one way is to put something sticky on it, like the double sided take. For me this is the simplest way to do it.
Fourth,
You are almost ready, If you encounter an error saying "Lens not attached" all you need to do is to change the dial to Manual Mode and that's it. You are good to goo.
Whenever you use flash and an error appear saying something like TTL...blah blah, all you nee do is change the setting of the flash to Manual.
Hope this helps.
