I then positioned my XT with kit lens to point directly at the 50 such that the two front elements were touching together. Then I took the picture using the XT.

Sorry for hijacking the thread!
Now that's interesting I've held my 50mm lens up to the kit lens in reverse, but I've never tried shooting in reverse and through the viewfinder of another camera.
