I recently purchased a macro coupler and step ring to mount my 18-55 standard lense to my tamron 28-300 zoom in reverse. I was able to get this shot but the side blur real quickly. Since everything is in manual mode, how can I improve this image? This image is of the ridges on a quarter's side.
thanks,
brent

| with the reverse lens, you will have a very very shallow dof as you must have noticed while focussing manually on this. all you can do is increase the F# to as far as you can go, but even that will give you only 3-4mm of dof ( this will change with if you are using 70mm or 300mm on our lens ) but the point is dof is very shallow and you have to live with it. |

I had seen this exact shot and sought out the reversal ring. I am happy with my purchase, now just need to learn how to take a better macro on interesting subject matter.

| Zoom lenses by the nature of their design do not work well in this capacity, especially in the role of the reversed lens. Ideally the reversed lens should be a wide-angle to normal prime lens. The wider the reversed lens the greater the magnification. |
