You just saved me a BUNCH of money. Though I'm still nervous about playing with a partially detatched lens. Oh well, we'll see how it turns out.

As long as it's not left in sunlight and you don't leave the lens off for a long time then it will be fine :)
Just regulary clean your lens.

"this is a guide for the 18-55mm kit lens usually bought with te canon 350d..."

Do you mean that the lens is with the canon 350d when you buy it or that you should buy it extra to it?
I'm not really into the lens stuff etc...

Maybe I'm just not doing this right - but how are you supposed to focus? It seems awesome, thanks so much for sharing. :heart:

But I'm getting better at fighting the future.

Yes, I'll be just fine.

i have a canon 300D and although i have that lens, i don't think i could attach the lens backwards unfortunately... great idea though.....

If only i got to read this tutorial later, if not i wouldn't have spent hundreds on a macro lens :( But I will still try your technique
