- TURN YOUR EXISTING STANDARD 50mm LENS INTO A MACRO LENS!
Converting a standard 50mm lens into a 100mm macro lens is a piece of cake. Actually, it's a piece of metal you can buy for £5. The quality of the lens remains the same but the fun and creative inspiration it brings is priceless.
This is something I discovered in the 80's as a 13 year old boy when I first got into photography. Half the fun of this hobby or career is experimenting with light, shutter speeds, subjects, objects and in this case, glass.
Get yourself a cheap lens inverter from Amazon and start thinking of all those interesting objects around your house and garden that you can start shooting: amzn.to/3eNhMHc

This is amazing! I will buy my new 50 mm lens 1.4 and definitely try it because I was desperately looking for macro lens on my budget for newborn photography. Thank you,!
Thanks for your feedback Valentin and enjoy the lens 👍
Just curious if you’ve tried this with a mirrorless camera? I used to do this all the time with my canon dslr but once I switched to Sony mirrorless I can no longer flip my lens to achieve this effect. Any thoughts?
I haven't tried, no. It's strange that you can't do it with mirrorless? I'm going to have to dig deeper now and try it myself 😁👍
Had a quick look around and it seems the rings might not be available for mirrorless cameras 🤔
@@NickStubbs Thanks for checking! I think it has something to do with the sensor being so much closer. I've made a workaround with using extension tubes and also the Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro Snap-On Lens. But I really miss just flipping my 50 mm around!
@@JayneRohlfingNice one, and nice workaround 😁👍🙌
