I have a t2i with the kit 18-55mm kit lens. Is there a way for me to reverse mount my old Canon 50mm FD lens for macro?

I won a Canon Rebel XTi and I was able to reverse mount my kit lens with no issues. The images I captured look great.

As long as the ring can be mounted on your canon, it should not be a problem. The ring attaches to your lens using the filter threading. It's as if you're putting a UV filter on your lens, nothing more. The other side of the ring then fits onto your camera as if you were putting a lens on there.And a 50mm lens is ideal for this since it's short/prime. Just remember that you have to manually set your aperture and there is no AF capability when doing this. And you need plenty of light.Also consider getting yourself some extension tubes. A combo of extension tubes + reverse mounting produces some incredible macros.

i just tried my IS 70-200 f/4 collar on the 100L macro lens and it does NOT fit.....not even close....the 100 macro is too large

For macro only, this is effectively an extension tube. Canon fd to eos must have a glass element.

It comes with a bunch of sizes of attachments that screw into the front if a lense. I have a t5i with a canon 100mm macro lense and it fit that lense fine. It should fit most if not all canon lenses.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasHello:I am a Canon newbie and have recently bought my starter equipment. I bought the T1i Canon kit that I found on the amazon.com site. I have now begun to shop for a macro lens and am considering the one indicated by the link. It appears to have the IS feature which is what I was looking for. After reading the reviews, the only negative thing that I have noticed was the price! I suppose you get what you pay for. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasHello:I am a Canon newbie and have recently bought my starter equipment.

There are definitely many alternative ways to take macro shots. You can use a closeup filter like you mention, you can buy extension tubes to move your lenses out from the film plane or you can buy a special ring that enables you to mount an existing lens backwards (reversing ring). The Macro lens approach seems to be the highest quality. I've also had good luck using a reversing ring. One other differentiation between a Macro lens and the alternatives is that a Macro lens allows you to take pictures over a continuously variable distance. The other options more or less only work at a fixed distance from the object which makes composition a bit less flexible There are definitely many alternative ways to take macro shots.

Yes, the T3 would work. However, you will also need the kit lens, an 18 - 55 mm, as well as a macro lens. I recently purchased the following from Amazon: Wide Angle/Macro Lens FOR THE CANON DIGITAL REBEL T3I T2I 550D.THIS LENS ATTACH DIRECTLY TO THE FOLLOWING CANON LENSES 18-55mm, 75-300mm, 50mm 1.4 , 55-200mm. It works great and I believe it is currently on sale.

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

I don't think so. I have tried to use it with my canon 18-135mm & my 55-250mm lenses. could not focus at all.works great on my 60mm macro. i believe the 2x extender was for macro use only.

I can only add what everyone else has said. Yes you can use your old lenses but they will be fully manual focus/aperture and note the crop factor. Your 50mm lens doesn't actually become 100mm but it will have a crop factor like an 100mm lens. write back if that doesn't make sense and I will upload photo examples.

Hi Chloe, I just tried the reversing ring on my 18-55 efs lense and it worked. Try to take the large part of the ring and carefully screw it on the front of the lens. then fit the small end on the camera body. Please let me know if that works or not. I hope I have been of some help to you

Yes... I use this with my Canon kit lens (18-55mm) all the time. Just make sure you pick the 58mm size

when I use my reverse mount ring or make the following settings f8 1/250 my kit 18-55 lens at 55mm, as is a G-type lens, there is a metal pin which placed a small paper pedaso to maintain the aperture fully open. this pin is moved from right to left in the inner edge of lens.I hope I've been helpful.

Yes, I see the T4i 18-135mm STM kit listed here and elsewhere. Old Canon FD mount lenses will not fit any Canon DSLRs. Old Canon EOS EF lenses will work with the T4i though some film-era 3rd party lenses may not be completely compatible. Note that the smaller sensor in the digital Rebels will crop the image from the lens and make it appear as if you are using a 1.6 times longer lens. For example, your old 50mm lens on the T4i will appear more like an 80mm would on your film SLR and 28mm and 35mm lenses won't be wide angle lenses when used on the T4i.

You can't use this lens with a teleconvertor for doing macro. You'll need a extension tubes, you can search on amazon for "extension tubes" and it will show you the options. One major gripe is you'll lose auto focus (AF), you'll have to manual focus (MF).
