  • second is getting a attachment to attach to the front of both lenses.. the threads being male /male (eliminates the scratching of lenses)
  • 3rd option is getting a Reverse Lens Macro adapter to fit your camera with a male thread so you can attach the 50mm prime in reverse to your camera.. with no other lenses

All of these require a very steady hand .. or tripod.. i have tried this with no tripod and hand held a 50mm to my sigma 70-300mm with these as a result



i will find more info if you wish
