Can you reverse an EFS lens (say the 18-55mm which has a 58mm filter thread) with this reverse ring and put it on a full frame camera like the 5D?

It doesn't matter what kind of lens or camera you have. There are no contacts with a reversing ring. You screw it on to the filter thread and connect the other end into the camera body. You lose autofocus which means that you have to focus manually.

If it is 58mm it will fit. And like H.A. Tribby said, you will have to manually focus, and if you're doing macro shots, manual is the best anyway.

It should work, yes. The mounts on all Nikon cameras are F-mounts, which this ring was made for. Be aware, though, that your autofocus and VR will not work when the lens is reversed. This is a great accessory, and is well made. I highly recommend it.

This lens will work on both full-frame and crop cameras. I have personally used it on the 7D and the 5D Mark III. Canon doesn't list it as either EF or EF-S, it's simply listed as "E" (as in MP-E) :-)

The reversal ring doesn't have electrical contacts that send information to the lens about aperture. You need to set the camera to manual mode to be able to use it without the contacts. Hope this helps!

Should work fine on full frame cameras, with APS sensors such as the Canon Rebels you need a lens a little more powerful than the 18-55 to keep the holder out of frame. You should be using manual focus so lens rotation shouldn't be a problem but you may have to leave it loose, held with a small piece of tape, to get the proper orientation

Yes. Any EF lens will fit a full-frame OR crop sensor. I don't buy EF-S lenses because they will ONLY fit crop sensors (30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, 70D, 7D). The 1, 5 and 6 series Canons all have full frame sensors and, since you may want to upgrade one day, stick with EF lenses so they'll fit whatever you've got. :-)

The mount is not an ef-s mount, it's an ef mount. It's simply designed for APS-C sensors so using it on a full frame dslr will produce serious vignetting as a solid black circular area around the photo.

Your camera size should not matter. The reversing ring goes on where the lens filter goes. So you need a 52mm adapter ring. 35mm referenced on your camera is the sensor size i believe.

Yes, it is reversible but I don't think it's necessary to reverse it. It's only a quarter inch above the lens cap; it fits fine in my bag.

No, they use a physically different mounting. There are Teleconverters on the used market that fit FD lenses, do a search on Amazon and ebay for one. If you are hoping to make a FD lens work with a EF mount, there are good converters from Ed Micka, but they are hand made and expensive. The commonly available ones degrade the image. Canon made a FD-EOS converter, they are scarce and price is out of this world.

When used on an 18-55mm lens, if placed outside of the filter at 18mm it will cause vignetting. If I placed the hood between the lens and filter, the filter would not properly fit inside the hood. From a semi-pro... pass...

when you mount the lens on the camera backwards, you loose the original filter thread size as it is now attached to the camera side. the ring that takes the rear of the lens has an opening of 52mm so you need any filter, cap or hood ti be 52mm because you're attaching it to the adapter and not to the original filter thread on the lens.

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.

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.

I'm prett sure it is reversible although I haven't tried to reverse it. I have used it with Nikon lenses without reversing it and was happy with it. For the money, it's a good product.

Yes this hood is reversible on the EF-S 18-55mm non-IS, IS and IS II lenses as well as the EF-S 55-250mm IS lens however it does not fit the new EF-S 18-55mm IS STM lens and I do not think this will fit the new EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens.
