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 werenâ��t designed to be exposed. Also the BR-3 besides being a functional lens hood also allows filters to be used.
