Great shots Dan.

1. What did you use as a lighting source?
2. What are you using for a focusing rail?

My mounting scheme for the reverse mounted elgeet's was to mount the lens on the
female side of metal filter cap, 49mm.  I then screw that onto a reverse
adapter.  Not quite as cheap as your approach.  It does have two advantages: you
can put the male part of the filter cap onto the setup to protect the front
element of the lens and you can insert a color light balance filter into the
rig.  Yes, all of you digital white balance guys can stop smirking.

Jay - who's ultimate cheap macro shots aren't nearly as good as Dan's.
