I was shooting on Nikon back when I was experimenting with macro, and the reversed lens I was using was a nifty fifty.
I think part of the reason I ended up getting more into landscape panoramas than macro was that the cost of entry for high-quality results was lower
Hot damn ain’t technology great! I couldn’t afford the active extension tubes, I was too poor from buying vintage USSR lenses and ridiculous attachments.
Extension tubes are pretty fun, but I didn’t like the light falloff and got annoyed with the manual focus when trying to photograph things that move a little bit such as living ants or the iris of people’s eyeballs. My very first intro to macro was reverse-lens photography where you simply use your lens backwards.
Eventually for macro without a macro lens, I settled on a stack of lens filter step up/step down adapters and one male-to-male filter adapter to reverse-mount my 50mm lens onto any other lens of choice. I also got a body mount to filter adapter so that I could protect the back glass with a UV filter and add a macro ring flash. This whole setup gives you at least a modicum of autofocus, which helps tremendously. Granted, you end up with some extreme fisheye and barreling around the edges of your image, which means you’ll lose some fidelity cropping out the garbage.
None of this is necessarily advise anyone should take, just offering you some more ideas to have fun with. Also, check out macro rack focus rigs, those are crazy-fun. This was also a pretty incredible story around the time I started really getting into macro, you might get some rig ideas with today’s more easily accessible technology.
Wow, that’s a great fucking read!

Gimme big tabs that look like buttons on a child’s ipad app. I also want the tab matrix enabled and always visible on mobile. Finally, they must make various squeaking/honking/chirping noises when I select them and animal noises when left inactive for too long.
I desire tab matrices. Bottom 20% of the window is my browser display

That is an adorable name and I wish all of you the comfort you need and Navi the health she deserves. As painful as it can be for you, being with Navi makes it less painful for her. I cuddled my dog extra tight last night thinking about Navi.
