TankRed: may I ask if using hand holding a lens on an attached lens is allowed (reverse lens macro technique) ( 5 years and 3045 days ago )
UncleJimmy: I would think not TankRed, the idea is to have the lens completely removed from the camera. that would be an entirely different technique. ( 5 years and 3045 days ago )
Contest Moderator: The entire idea of free lensing is to have your lens detached, any photos taken with the lens attached to the camera will be removed. ( 5 years and 3044 days ago )
happyme27: competition says I can upload 500 entries--thanks for the offer...but uh, that doesn´t seem quite right ( 5 years and 3044 days ago )
k5683: I can't seem to get this! wow it is harder than it looks. Somehow when I tilt the lens, I get a black circle showing Guess I'll have to research more. ( 5 years and 3041 days ago )
locksmagic: Kellie, it depends on what lens your trying to use but your probably tilting it too far. ( 5 years and 3041 days ago )
k5683: thanks. I tried both my 18-55 mm and my 200mm. When I put it in front of the camera, it didn't seem to make any difference at all, even when I tilted it ever so slightly. Oh well, I don't see myself doing this anyway so I really don't need the practice I guess. ( 5 years and 3039 days ago )
