Regarding reverse mounting a lens on another lens. The lens on the camera needn't be macro. Any lens will work. The lens on the camera can be focused on infinity and so can the reverse lens. Note I say "can be" as that's not essential.

If both lenses are focused on infinity, then the reverse lens can be any ordinary photography lens. It's not essential that it be an enlarging lens which is designed for close conjugates.

Hey Alan,

That's a solid bit of advice. My only major concern would be the presence of field curvature when not using a macro.

Good to know I don't have to use an enlarging lens.

Best,

GB.
