After trying freelensing with the Schneider enlarging lens
on the NEX (see previous post), I then reversed the lens and shot these African
Violets. The results were also good,
though I think a wider angle lens would have been better (though not many enlarging lenses are wider than 50mm)
About a week ago I posted this story about how I reversed my
Voigtlander 35mm Nokton on the NEX, with great results. At the time I didn’t realise it was called
Reversed Freelensing!
A word of caution – be very careful with reversed
freelensing as it is very easy to scratch the front element of your lens. Using
a front filter when doing this is a good idea.
