Another trick is to directly reverse mount a lens onto the camera. The focal length is then inversely proportional to the zoom ratio. You can get more than 1:1 ratios doing so.

Miguel, are you using a zoom lens attached to the body (or is it a fixed prime)? If you are using a zoom lens, zoom it in till you don’t see the vignette. On my 70-300VR / 50mm combo I think I have to zoom past 200mm for the vignette to go away.

Great tips Jim, I tried to do it and I got partially good results. It definetely macro like but the picture came out with a vignete; instead of the image being in a frame it looks like it i in framed by a circle. Any idea why? I must be missing something.

First of all thank you a lot. I read this technique before but never had success because those were in written format, and I couldn’t figure out how exactly this works.

after seeing this video. this was my first test shot. and I am very happy with outcome.
