Product Description


The EOS-RETRO adapter opens the world of extreme close-up photography to users of Canon EOS cameras with wide angle or zoom lenses. The lens is mounted on the adapter in reverse position, ensuring outstanding quality of the resulting photographs. The adapter transmits all lens information to the camera body. Using a Canon EOS zoom lens with a focal length of 28-105 in reverse position, allows the user to take photographs with magnification ratios of 1:7 at the 105mm end to 2.8:1 at the 28mm setting. No prime macro lens is capable of matching this range. The adapter is supplied with 58mm treads.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why would one want this?, March 31, 2009
By 
This review is from: Reverse Lens Adapter for Canon EOS with 58mm Adapter Ring (Electronics)
Why anyone would spend $500+ on this is beyond me. The cool thing about reverse macro work is that the mount is irrelevant (filter threads are universal, after all). What makes this universality especially nice is that there's a plethora of excellent used lenses from many manufacturers available for very little money. It perplexes me why one would need to reverse a specific EF lens. Just get a superb old Canon FD lens, or Nikkor, or Olympus Zuiko, or Pentax SMC, etc...

That being said, I've tried this on a whim in a camera store, and it does work quite well (hence the two stars). But upon arriving home, I popped my old 50mm f/1.4 FD reversed onto my 1Ds Mark II and shot some optically stunning close-up work.

This was a gift to my husband, and he seems to really like it... guess it does the trick.
