I had done this a long time ago when I reversed my 50mm f1.7 and had to control the aperture to a certain degree.... just fold up a piece of paper and slot it into the space where the lever which activates the aperture blades. Simple mechanical procedure. No harm done to the lens, unless you used excessive force or used a piece of metal to jam the lever....

thanks akay877 and kysham

looks like i`m gonna buy reverse ring meh miahahaha... poison2 ...

couple beercan with minibeercan .... is it good combo?

(haiya like this when will i get flash lolz)

save for lens later, get the flash first.....
even for macro, flash is very important.

Oooo,.... i saw sony double exposure banner in lowyat.net

suda gatal tangan

testing reverse trick wif mini beercan... arghh... fingers feel like wanna break holding the lens lol

any bro here into macro photography??care to comments on the tamron 90mm??from wad i see..the quality isnt alot diff as compared with sony one...the only draw back is slightly shorter working distance??

craziqbal: I don't know about the 90mm F2.8 non-DI.

SpOOkY: It should say DT, DC or Di-II in the full name of the lens to mean that it's APS-C only.

vcvx: Sigma DG means it is coated for digital but is full-frame. DC means APS-C.

I have a T-mount to M42 adapter, and an M42 to A-mount adapter, but both are being used on my Peleng 8mm F3.5 fisheye (which is technically, natively a T-mount lens.)

Ksano: The rear element of the baby beercan may not be big enough and cause a lot of vignetting even at the 210mm end of the beercan, so it's better to reverse a 50mm in front.

soulfly: SWEEEEEEEEEET!

kysham: glad u like the photo

albert: how you do the ring bokeh? awesome

Guys, I was THERE when Albert bought the CZ 135mm F1.8 and I was THERE when the shots were made.

No secrets, just took KJ's pics when he was standing in front of the Christmas tree which had those tiny little Christmas lights on it. Those big ring bokeh is rendered from those lights! That's the power of the 135mm on the A900. Damn nice, can? <-- imitating smashPop

Oh well at least i got the christmas word in my guess...

kysham : I know what you mean for the harsh shadows. Some of the pics was taken around noon and my F42 was already firing full blast direct to lift them shadows!! Some were intentional. Hehe..

have you contacted the friend thru this number 014-9109255? that dude gave me this number. he said it's a girl.... but never mentioned any name.

That pic is really nice
