I think I get what you were talking about but it's kinda gross hahahaha.



I was kinda wondering about the same about some of the reverse macro pictures I took of a coin. When I used a very wide aperture it tend to focus diagonally too.

I've got a dirty sense of humour :\

Gotta try this myself. So you dont use autofocus, but manually adjustable focus?
Quite reasonable

Both would work, if you've set the aperture to a low f-stop.

You use a slr?

So I have noticed .



Autofocus doesn't work when you reverse the lens. So basically you focus by move closer or further away from the object.
I think I took like 200+ reverse macro pictures and only a few of them turned out sharp lol.

You don't need to use an SLR to have manual aperture controls, some rangefinder and TLR cameras have it too.



I just can't help it :\

You don't need to remove the lens to get that sort of macro though, you could just use a macro lens instead.

haha you pervert! lol jk.

Well I am not sure if I want to spend a lot of money on a macro lens when I am not really into macro photography. Of course the amount of the money I will probably have to spend on macro equipment kinda scares me off a bit too lol. I mean I would need to buy other stuff to other than a lens probably a macro flash lol.

Umm, no. The pennies are zinc coated with a steel core, not any silver.

I actually thought it's made of copper but I do remember seeing some really old and sad looking pennies with rust on them so you must be right about it having a steel core.
