Re: Reversing 50mm?

I don't honestly know but I recently spoke to a very technical and knowledgeable guy at a top lens manufacturing company.  He told me to install my 50mm on my Nikon camera normally (to keep full control electrically), then reverse a 28mm lens on top of the 50mm  (using a step ring or other adapter) so they end up facing each other.  He said this works great and even better on a 100mm Macro specific lens.  Other have seemed to agree but I have not tried it yet.

I'll even then experiment that set up with my tubes. Trial and error.
