That is cool but how does it compare to just using a marumi achromat 200 lens filter with that lens?

Also after you mod it, can you attach a clear filter to their rear of that lens?

And does the AF still work afterwards?

I don't have the Marumi achromat 200 you mentioned.  I did a search, and it's a +5 diopter.  You wont get the magnification any where near the reverse lens method.  Yes, you can attach a 58mm filter to it.  I use the 58mm UV filter, but I took out the glass.  I don't want extra glass.  Auto focus do not work.  It hunts all over the place.  With extreme macro, it's pretty much manual focus.
