picturethatphoto Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hi all, I was thinking about buying a BR2 reverse ring for my Nikon D80, The problem I have is that I have just 1 lens that is 52mm. Would it be a good idea to use a step up or step down ring to use my other lens? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamin scott Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Use a BR2A on your D80 as a regular BR2 may damage the AF contacts in the mount (per Nikon). You can use a BR5 in conjuction with the BR2A & it will allow you to use 62mm filter mount size lenses. I'd suggest buying inexpensive,older Nikkor lenses off of eBay (you can even use Non-Ai/Pre-Ai lens when reversed),since you will not have any metering anyway when using this setup...Most of the older lenses are 52mm filter size anyway & you can get extremely high magnification with them.
