Hi all
I have reverse mounted my canon kit lens. I'm wondering if there is a 'female bayonet to filter' adaptor that can be bought to stop any artefacts/dirt etc entering into the bayonet end of the lens as it's now exposed. I've search for ages and can't seem to find anything. I guess adapting (cutting a hole) the bayonet lens cap and sticking a filter to it would do the trick but I'd much rather buy an adaptor if there's one available?
Thanks in advance! |

celophane stretched tightly so as to not have any creases or obscure your image?
i don't know of any adapters that exist in the capacity you're looking for. |

Looks like Fotodiox makes a whole range of reversing rings, including //www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Filter-Thread-Reverse-Adapter/dp/B001G4PA36/ which at 58mm should fit the 18-55mm kit lens to a Canon EF/EF-S mount.

| cellophane may work...I've had a look and with an elastic band it could be a candidate, thanks for the suggestion I hadn't thought of that. Manic, thanks for the link but I've already reversed the lens so have a reversing adaptor, I'm looking to protect the bayonet end of the lens as it's now exposed due to being reversed. Thanks guys |

Ah, that makes a bit more sense :) I'd suggest something simple - get an old lens rear cap, and cut out the center/cut off the top, which should leave you with a ring that'll attach to the bayonet end without blocking the optics.
