whats the difference between this and regular reversing ring?

The Fotodiox Aperture control isn't a reversing ring. It doesn't do anything that a reversing ring does. A reversing ring attaches to the front element of a lens to allow you to mount the lens backwards. The Fotodiox Aperture control attaches to the rear element of a Nikkor G-style lens to allow you to set the aperture (since the G lenses don't have aperture control rings) when the lens is mounted in a reverse position. You'd buy this because, presumably, you already have a reversing ring on a G lens and want to be able to control the aperture of that lens when it's mounted in the reverse position.

This isn't the reversing ring. This attaches to the f-mount that will now be on the outboard side of the lens and is used to manually control the aperture. I also then mounted a filter to protect the inner element of my lens that would otherwise be exposed. You will "need" all the parts show in this kit: Fotodiox 52mm Macro Reverse Ring Kit with G and DX Type Lens Aperture Control, 52mm Lens Cap and 52mm UV Protector for Nikon Cameras

This is best to use opposite the reverse ring to control the aperture 'cause you no longer have the ability to control the aperture TTL since the camera no longer is in contact with the contacts on the lens. This is mounted on the back of the lens, whereas the reverse ring is mounted between the front of the lens and the camera. ~hth

According to this review, it does not have a Reverse function:http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2F0VDP98UKJ90/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B001I1M95E

I own the thing. It's reversible. In most bags, you will not need to take it off and reverse it. I use a Tamrac Aero 50 bag and I don't have to.

I don't know the difference, but the tool works well for adjusting to different adapters. My problem is knowing which adaptor to use. Don't use it enough to know which clamp goes with which connector other than the special feature I needed. There is a chart, but didn't research to know what all the codes mean...need pictures for me. The self ratcheting system is nice. Holds things in place while making wiring adjustments. This is diffently heavy enough for everything I do (use it about once a month or two).

No, I don't believe this is an extension tube. I think it's meant to be used in conjunction with a reversing ring. You attach it to the reversed camera lens (a cheap trick for macro photography) so that you are able to keep the aperture wide open. Generally, when you have reversed your lens, there is no longer any electronic connection, therefore you cannot control the aperture so it defaults to the greatest depth of field. This product allows you to bypass this dilemma by allowing you to manually open the aperture up completely to achieve a shallow depth of field, as well as get in lost of light (very useful for macro photography).

I have the same camera, Canon T3i, and had no problem with the reverse ring. Have you tried both sides of the ring on your camera? It is a boit confusing at first, but keep fooling with it and you should be able to solve the problem.

This 52 mm reversing ring fits any lens with a 52 mm filter thread on the front. The bayonet mount on the ring fits any Nikon F-mount camera body (DX or FX DSLR and film SLR cameras). The Nikon 'g' lenses don't have an aperture control ring for manual setting. This means you would be limited to the smallest aperture (largest f-stop number) when the lens is reversed. It is very difficult to compose and focus when the aperture is stopped down and you can barely see through it. Better to use a lens with aperture control ring.

I don't believe there is any difference, I think it is a rebrand thing. Hope this helps...would never be without mine ...will use it for life.

This one has handles that slant up and the Lodge L10DOL3 handles are flat. (actually easier for seasoning it)This one has a lid with concentric rings, while the other one has drip points, not rings. (seems easier to season) That's why I got this one.As a note, I got this when it cost the same as the other model. I don't think it's worth paying extra.

Try removing the lens from the body. Line up the white dot on the ring with the white dot on the body and turn it into place. It should lock in. After that, You know need to use the opposite side of the lens to screw into the ring. That's why it's called a reverse ring. The lens should screw right in if you purchased the right size. There are a few different sizes. Make sure that you have purchased the correct one. When trying to take photos, you can't manually adjust the lens, you have to physically move your body closer or further away depending on when the photo will take.

Yes, this ez NR5M, have reverse side. one side for tighten, other side for loose. but do not have a switch from tight to loose.

not sure the only difference ive seen it the lenth of the shaft. amd some have a dlat side. i flattened mine on a bench grinder

It most likely will say that because your camera will not be using the electric connection to the lens anymore and you have to use the lens manually because the ring does not allow the connection to happen cause your lens is now reversed. Their are you tube videos that show how to manually set your lens when doing this style.

I don't know the difference between them. Purchased mine fall of 2012. Works perfectly. I use mine exclusively for parking the bike upright in the garage after each ride. Cradle locks it in securely. No fear of it falling over.

The ones without the metal bar (D-ring) for tightening are MUCH harder to use on yourself!!! If you are the only one using it, though, once you (finally) get it adjusted right you can just slip it on and off without loosening it. Having the D-rind makes a world of difference, especially for using to take your own blood pressure.

You I never actually received mine, witch is a bummer because I really wanted it. But I believe the don't come with a revers u might need to go for an electric one for that. Since it's gas n all it won't have a reverse gear.

I have both, as far as I can tell there is no difference. They both work the same. Buy whichever cost less. I think it's more of a style thing...
