Reverse rings can be used to shoot macro shot using non-macro lens like 50mm.Therefore, it need original reverse ring, the price is ranging from 30~40 US$.
There are some instruments, that are really essential for example:
1. Old Camera Body Cap.
2. Unused filer
3. Some Quick setting glue (Super Glue).
4. Some Epoxy Glue.
And here are the step by step instructions given a famous photographer who wrote about how to build a reverse macro lens.
1. Cut the body cap in middle. Through dotted line.
2. Open the filter to take the glass out. Use lens opener if you have, as for me, I simply break the glass. Be careful as it may cut your finger.
4. First Align each ring carefully and set the position using small amount of super glue.
5. Wait and see how it was align. (In that stage you can re-align the position if you do not like the alignment, that’s why only use small amount of superglue).
6. Then, if you are satisfy with alignment, please fill some more superglue along the seam. Wait until the glue completely dry. Super glue normally dried in few minutes may be less than 5 min.
7. Then fill the internal seam with Epoxy glue. Epoxy glue comes with to compound "Resin" and "Hardener" mostly indicated as "A" and "B". you have to mix those 2 in equal ratio, and apply over seam inside the ring.
8. And leave it for at least 45 min before use. As for me, I leave it for over night.
9. Finally you can fit this between camera and lens.
