this is the setup with my canon 10D and homemade EF-mount to lens thread adapter...

i used a 12mm kenko tube (which i can still reassemble) for the mounts and contacts, old computer cable and plugs (to connect to the mount contacts without soldering), a piece of polystyrol plate, saved micro screws and a film canister for the rest...
cost without counting the kenko tube and 55mm to 58mm to 55mm to 77mm thread adapters (which i can all use separately): 2 euro =)

examples: [link] [link] [link] etc.


EDIT: i just learned that [link] sells similar gadgets ...

Man,you are a genius...I never thought of using the computer cable to connect the contacts from one to another end, really nice idea.

You should probably start making this and sell on ebay,haha

why dont you just buy a threaded connector that connects to the body and the front of the lens?

what is the point of all this?

the point is to be able to control the aperture
on the canon EF system, you can only set it on the camera body, so you need the electronic connection

there is a low tech trick to lock any aperture setting in the lens when taking it off the body (mount lens normally, set aperture, push dof previev button, take of the lens with the preview button still pushed) but in the field that's too much hassle when chasing nervous bugs ;)

Have you seen my flash setup ?

haha, now that's a nice bastard =D
and seems to work pretty well, are those full frames in your gallery?

but i'm not sure if you need to make an inversion adapter like mine, i don't think it will give you more magnificaton than you already have
i built this thing before i had my 100mm macro lens, but now i only use the 100mm plus extension tubes
and the inverted 17-40mm lens i used is of course not as sharp as the macro
do you know how much magnification you can get with your setup?
i think i'll try it myself and compare ;)
