when people do macros they always stack a 50mm 1.8 reverses on thier lens, well why is it always 50mm 1.8 and not a 50 1.4 or something else?

It's a dirt cheap standard lens.

Like Paulmdx said, it's cheap and great quality for the money.

I like reversing zoom lenses. When reversed, zoom ring acting like the focus ring makes things a bit easier.

hmm im gonna stack a 70-200 on a 24-70 and see how that turns out :/

Works a lot better if you have the lens reversed directly on the body. 50mm gives you about 1:1 and 24mm about 2:1.

And how much would a proper reversed mounting ring cost for a 300D (58mm filter size)?
