General Brand Reverse Adapter for Mounting Lenses with 52mm Filter Threads Backwards on Nikon Bodies

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

Use with 50mm f/1.4 in reverse and you get 1:1 macro shots.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

This ring has helped me shoot macro shots for a fraction of the price of a new lens.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

Bought it to compare to using close up filters. It works great and produces interesting images. But still feel using the close up filters gives you more control.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

Does exactly what it's designed to do. Make sure your Nikon is in M so you can release the shutter - works perfectly.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

This is a pretty sturdy adapter. I would recomend this if anyone is getting into macro photography. I would recommend a 50+mm prime lens.

Nice for macro shots

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

Well built legitimate alternative to the more expensive name brands. A reversing ring is a great way to cheaply get into macro photography. Give it a try, you might catch the bug like I did.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

It's not great 'cause lining up the threads that connects to the lens is not easy and once it is lined up, it keeps skipping as you turn it and never locks/stops. But if you try to pull, it doesn't disengage either leaving you with the feeling that the lens is not secured.

This adapter fits perfectly on my Nikon D90. No complaints.

You don't get much cheaper or functional than this reversing ring. It does it's job perfectly -- mounts my 50mm lens in reverse so I can shoot macros. As others have mentioned, the plastic threads make is slightly strange threading it to the lens but is by no means difficult. Great solution for someone looking for an affordable way to do macros

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

I shoot a lot of fine arts nature and landscapes and when I am out I like to move from the massively wide panoramas to the ultra close up of whatever nature I am in.

This is like having another lens in your bag with our the weight or cost. Screwing this into the filter threads and turning the lens around allows you to get in close for a totally new look at your surroundings

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

As said by other reviewers, the threads are NOT smooth. Take extreme care when threading ensure you don't cross-thread. Mounts fine on my D40 and 50mm 1.8.

Comments about General Brand Reverse Adapter Nikon to 52mm:

This is the least expensive of the 52mm reversing rings.

And it shows in the way the thread winds into the lens threading: it's not smooth.

But if you're careful, then it's not a problem.

Specially for the price.

For the cost of being careful when threading to the lens, I'd gladly pay the price.

It's more important that it does its function as a reversing ring.

And that, it does well.

Now if you're in a rush and can't take time threading the rings, (happens to all of us) other better quality rings might be needed.

For me, this does the simple macro jobs I use it for.

I gave it 4 stars mostly because its price is perfect for its intended use.

If you want to try macro shots with magnifications of 1X and higher and don't want to spring for the expensive macro lens, try this approach. If you have an old 50mm or 28mm prime (the old ones had great glass AND a manual f/stop ring) buy this reverse adapter ring and fire away. I'm getting >3X magnification with my old Nikkor f/3.5 28mm at a working distance of ~2 inches. For [$] you can't beat it.

i didn't expect much from this, but it works great w/my 50mm 1.8 on my D40. just leave the lens wide open, and presto! nice macro shots without the money on a macro lens.
