Where can I buy reversal rings to mount reversed lenses for macro shooting?

Thanks

mount a lens reversed on the body, or a lens reversed infront of another lens?

edit: bhphotovideo.com and adorama.com have the latter. Bhphotovideo is down right now but do you mean this?

I bought mine from Ebay under macro coupler.. Shipping from B&H was too much.

Thank you. Yes, this is what I mean - lens to lens. Thanks for the link. I searched B&H yesterday but couldn't find these anywhere. Was obviously looking in the wrong place. And I've come to believe that if B&H don;t have it it probably doesn't exist.

They allow you to mount one lens front-to-front with another. This combination is useful for extreme macro work, where it can give very high magnification.

The 50/1.8 reverse coupled on the end of the 75-300 will work. It looks lke a 58mm to 52mm coupler would be the one required.
