Nice tutorial, Dave. Btw, I tried to leave a comment on your website, but the page got hung up after I clicked the submit button.

Good tutorial.

I'd suggest anyone looking to reverse a lens on a Nikon get the Nikon BR-2a (not the older BR-2). It is a lot more precise than the ebay cheapies and is never going to touch the electrical contacts.

I also recommend using the Nikon BR-3 when the lens is reversed. It acts as protection of the rear element, which typically don't have as durable lens coatings as front elements since they weren̢۪t designed to be exposed. Also the BR-3 besides being a functional lens hood also allows filters to be used.

BR-3
