Macro Reverse Mount Adapter JJC for Nikon 72mm thread SB2152

The JJC Macro Reverse Mount Adapter for Nikon 72mm thread (model SB2152) is a mechanical accessory designed to enable reverse lens mounting for macro photography. It connects to Nikon-compatible lenses that have a 72mm filter thread, allowing the lens to be mounted backward on the camera body to achieve greater magnification and closer focusing distance. The adapter contains no optical elements and acts as a rigid mechanical coupling between lens and camera.

Advantages

This adapter provides a simple, lightweight solution for extreme close-up and macro shooting without altering lens optics. By reversing a standard lens you can obtain significantly higher reproduction ratios compared with normal lens mounting, enabling detailed capture of small subjects. The mechanical construction ensures reliable alignment and quick attachment while preserving the lens’ original optical characteristics since no glass elements are introduced.

Suitable for

• Macro photography of insects and small animals
• Close-up shots of flowers, plants and textures
• Product and detail photography requiring high magnification
• Creative shallow-depth compositions and abstract close-ups

Key specifications

• Mount type: rear mechanical adapter for Nikon-compatible camera bodies
• Filter thread compatibility: 72 mm
• Construction: metal/plastic mechanical coupling without optical elements
• Function: enables reverse mounting of lenses to increase magnification
• Weight and dimensions: compact, lightweight design for easy handling (manufacturer details may vary)

How to use

To use the adapter, first remove the front filter or cap from the lens and attach the adapter to the lens’ 72mm filter thread. Mount the reversed lens with adapter onto the camera body as you would a normal lens mount. Manual focus and manual exposure control are typically required; set the camera and lens to the desired aperture and focus by moving the camera or subject. Because there are no electronic contacts, aperture control is performed on the lens if available, or via stop-down metering. Take care with working distance and lighting, as reversal significantly reduces subject clearance and may require additional illumination or diffusers.

Usage recommendations

Use a tripod or stable support to minimize camera shake at high magnifications, and consider extension tubes or close-up lighting for improved depth of field and illumination. Check lens compatibility and thread size before mounting; a 72 mm adapter thread must match the lens’ filter thread for secure attachment.
