is the lens reversible? can it go backwards on the lens for when not in use?

No, it's not reversible. The threads allow for another device to be placed on it such as a lens shade.

these are add-on to the standard lenses so the lens to which those converters are attached will function the same as it was but shoot macro instead of normal photos

Yes, it is. Each one can be installed and removed from your lens. One lens and lens hood can be both installed to your original lens together.

No, the lens isn't replaceable. You can adjust manually or set it for automatic.

No, it's just the way light travels through the lens. If it doesn't have a mirror to reflect off of, on to the view port it will always be reversed.

If your question is about Image Stabilization. The lens does not have this feature.

Yes, but only if there is no power to the lens. In other words if the lens is off the camera or on the camera, but the camera is turned off. The motor inside the lens is floating until the lens has power to it. Hopefully that makes sense, it is a fantastic lens for the price!

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.

Not ONE of these people has truly answered the question and I'd like to know myself. Is it reversible in so far as that where normal lenses turn clock wise to zoom in, Nikon's turn counter clockwise. So does this follow focus (operating in normal mode) pull clockwise to zoom in for normal lenses and THEN have an option to reverse the gearing so that it pulls clockwise for the normally COUNTER clock wise turn of the Nikon lenses?

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.

You can pull the eyecup off the mount that slides onto the camera and reverse it. I use my left eye also.Good Luck

The lens retracts back in when it's off. And the lens has a little shutter over it.

The Macro Reverse isn't actually a lens - it's simply an adapter that allows your 50mm lens to be used in reverse for a macro effect. I would say it is equivalent to a 90 - 100 mm 1:1 macro. Here's a good article that may help: http://tinyurl.com/rev-macro

Yes, it is reversible and it has nothing do with camera or lens brand or size. You can adjust the rubber belt around any lens.

No it will not. What you need to do is set the camera to manual. That would be the M on the selector dial. It will not work with any of the other settings except Manual mode. This holds the aperture open. I do not think there is an item that will make your camera recognize the lens when it is in reverse. But setting to MANUAL mode is what you want to do.

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.

There is no lock on this lens. I have not found that to be a problem. (I love the lens!)

There is a lock somewhere outside the lens near the body. This might prevent you from changing the focal length.

Here's the thing, Sarah... first you need to make sure the filter thread size of your lens matches the thread size of the adaptor. Then, you need to make sure that the lens mount of your camera matches the lens mount of the adapter. Finally, there are some things that make it difficult to tell how well a lens will work with a reversing ring. With most lenses, the rear of the lens is a fixed distance from the camera sensor, and how long the front lens is from the filter ring doesn't really matter. When you reverse the lens, that's all backwards. So some of it depends on how far the filter threads are from the front of the lens, and that isn't standard. For example, a 35mm Canon lens may have more space between the filter threads and the front of the glass, then say a 35mm Tamron or Sigma lens. Normally, that doesn't matter, but when you use a reversing ring, it moves the entire lens closer or further away from the camera sensor, and that greatly affects the magnification. So the only way to tell is to see if anyone used it with your specific lens, or to take the chance and try it.
