@cenoura — I’m looking for the same thing. I found one for the Nikon lens, but no such luck for Canon. Anyone know where to find the Canon equivalent?

Hi, liked your article. I’m using a canon 40d. does anyone know of any link that guides you step by step to do it on the canon body?

I am also seeking info for protecting the now uncovered “bottom end” of the lens. I was thinking of pruchasing the 100mm macro (canon) but now think I may play with reversing my lens first. I am unsure about exposing it to the elements..Any advice is appreciated

Sorry Chris, I’ve got confused with the description… I’m looking for, as you’ve said, “an adapter to attach to the now-exposed “bottom end” of the lens to which you can attach a filter for protection”
Any hint?

@cenoura: what you found is identical to what I found for you — an adapter that allows you to reverse-mount your lens. Also, you need to make sure you have the right filter size; look at your lens and find out what the thread size i.e. diameter is.

I’m confused: are you looking for a reversing ring to reverse-mount your lens to your camera, or are you looking for an adapter to attach to the now-exposed “bottom end” of the lens to which you can attach a filter for protection (as mentioned in the article)?

Ok, after search more and more I’ve found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/47mm-Lens-Reversal-Filter-Ring-Adapter-for-Canon-EOS_W0QQitemZ310150916963QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_CameraLenses_Lens_caps_hoods_adaptors_ET?hash=item48366f6b63&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1690|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

But I didn’t get the description very well… do you think it does the trick?

@cenoura: oops, my bad. I just re-read that section of the article and see what you’re referring to.
