That is way cool. I've heard of adapters for reverse mounting lenses for better macro shooting. Never seen it done with a point and shoot.

So if I reverse mounted my 100-400 on my 24-105 what would I end up with in terms of magnification range? Would having the 100-400 at 100mm and the 24-105 at 100mm cancel each other out and I'd have 1:1 magnification? I'm I thinking this right?

Why not just buy a macro lens...

I have the 100mm 2.8L, just curious how this technique works. If you can get 3,4,5+:1 magnification, it could be fun to play with.

Not sure if that question was directed at me or just general...

I think that reverse mounting a cheap lens will give similar results to a very expensive macro lens. Plus, this is fun!

I had toyed around with extension tubes on my NEX-3 a while back...

That is NEX-3 : 54mm macro extension tube : NEX to Pentax K adapter : 70-300mm Quantaray 120 dollar lens.

I did not take many pictures with it, but I think I got pretty decent results with that setup. It is all about the depth of field in my opinion, that is the hardest part to get right with Macro shooting.
