Flower Macro - reverse mounted lens

This is taken with the 50mm Yashica lens reverse mounted on the E500!
I do not (yet) have the reverse mount adapter, hence I shot this by hand holding the lens on the camera body. Poor man's macro!!

Some Moments from the CICA 2006 Final Cricket Match...

See more of the action HERE.

Most of these shots were taken with a Olympus E500 Digital SLR Camera and a super old 75-260 MM Zoom lens. I used an adapter to mount a Screw mount Lens on this Olympus 4/3 mount camera.

A 260 mm normal lens designed for a 35mm Camera, would behave like a 520mm lens on the E500 becuase of the 2x factor of the Olympus 4/3 system! Great for telephoto!!

I got this adapter from ebay for like 20 bucks including shipping. Apprently there are stores that sell such adapters for someting like 175 dollars...which I personally think is toooo much.
A search on ebay turns up THESE...
