I recently hot-glued two Cokin 49mm rings back to back to make this
adapter.  I had never heard of the two lens setup before this list.
Works well except I would recommend a 7mm extension ring or something
similar to protect the back of the 50mm lens.

if you

a 50mm

ratios.
| For example, a standard 50mm f1.8 reversed onto a 135mm f3.5 prime
lense
| will provide about 2.5x magnification.  Similarly, the same lense
reversed
| on a 200mm lense will provide 4x magnification, all without expensive
| bellows, extension tubes, etc...
