Starting a new thread though I've been reading many of the previous threads on reverse macro.
My setup: 40d, 50mm f1.8 II, 55-250 f4-5.6 IS, 18-55mm f4-5.6 IS.
Bought ring(s) to connect 55-250 and the 50mm Had to buy two as I was told there is no male to male 52 -52. Had to get 52 and 58 ring.
Well, last night I tried 40d>55-250>ring>50
It does not work. At best, I can see something occasionally through my VF at 10mm working distance.
I think the issues lies with the AF? How to get the AF of the 50mm to work.
I am trying the reverse macro before investing in the 100mm f2.8 macro.
Cheers, Christophe
