All this is because having my lens out in the open like that gets > me pretty nervous. I'm somewhat prone to breaking things. I used a rear lens cap, cut the center out of it and epoxied a filter ring (a step-up or step-down ring would work) to it. I have no intention of using a filter, instead I attach a ring light to the reversed lens. Pentax makes a ring light adapter for reversed lenses which basically works in the same way. If you really want to get into macro photography, check out John Shaw's book "Closeups in Nature" He goes through multiple techniques and has great ideas. Christian
