Hey Guys
Made my order for all my reverse mounts and such and everything is coming from the states. Only thing I can't find is a lens to lens reverse mount ring 55mm my 100mm macro lens to 62mm my 60mm macro lens. 55mm to 62mm both ends male. I can only find this ring from china. Takes up to 28 days for delivery even if I use amazon or ebay. Would anyone have one laying around or know of a shop stateside that sells them. Thank you,
Martin

Hey Douglass, I need one end 55mm and the other 62mm for a lens to reverse lens hook up. Your set up would take several parts to bring together, looking for a one piece solutions. Thanks for the reply

If you can't find it you can use the step down ring. Or step up ring... which ever. Mine never seemed to be a problem.

If I remember correctly your reversing rings were 55/52 Macro/35mm so you want the step down ring to match the 52mm threads in this scenario and the step down ring it self to fit your 60mm macro lens.

Thanks, Yeah I would step down to 55mm as that's the size of my 100mm and then a 55mm male to 55mm male thread. I'm first going to try for the single hook up

I doubt that you will find a single connector reversing ring 62 to 55. That is why I mentioned the BR-5, which is the difficult end to find.

Hey Roger, thanks for the offer, but I have already ordered that fitting. Will couple my 100mm to my reverse 35mm and also fit the 18-55mm for using reversed on the 100mm.
