So I watch this neat video on National Geographic's web site - and I think I'll try it with the old D70.
I can see nothing with my 28-70mm Tamron reversed as the video shows this guy doing. Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for your input.

I appreciate that reply, but maybe you didn't watch the video. This guy is taking the lens off of his camera, reversing it, and shooting!
My digital won't even shoot without a lens - although I think he's shooting film.
Guess nobody else thinks this is interesting -

I have done a shoot with a set up as he is explaining, but it was with film on an old and well-loved Nikon F.
Images were for evidence in an investigation for NCIS while in the Navy.
It allows me to show detail of an image that with a regular lens I would have had a major difficulty in getting.
Also when I did this, I did not have a coupler ring to attach the two lenses together with, I used electrical tape, worked great, and yes using duck tape did cross my mind, the clean up would have been a pain.

Doug,
I just read some stuff yesterday about reversing lenses. There's also something called reverse stacking. I'm pretty interested in trying this out also.
Here's some links with more info:
