Lens Reversing Adapter Ring KiwiFotos 52mm to 62mm for Reverse Mounting

The KiwiFotos 52mm to 62mm Lens Reversing Adapter Ring provides a mechanical connection to mount a 52mm-threaded lens in reverse to a 62mm mount. Designed for photographers who want to use lenses reversed for macro and close-up work, the adapter preserves manual aperture and focus control while offering a secure metal attachment. It is compact and lightweight, intended for creative optical experiments, extreme close-ups and situations where electronic communication between lens and camera is not required.

Advantages

The adapter is made of metal for durable, stable coupling between lens and mount and maintains correct thread alignment to prevent light leaks and wobble. By converting 52mm threads to 62mm, the ring enables use of a wider range of lens front threads without modifying the lens itself. Its simple mechanical design requires no power or electronics, keeping operation straightforward and reliable for manual focus macro photography.

Suitable for

• Macro and close-up photography using reversed lenses
• Creative optical techniques and lens stacking
• Photographers working with manual focus lenses
• Studio and field setups where a rigid mechanical connection is needed

Key specifications

• From thread diameter: 52 mm
• To thread diameter: 62 mm
• Material: metal construction
• Type of connection: mechanical screw thread, no electronic contacts
• Finish: matte or anodized surface to reduce reflections
• Weight: compact and lightweight design for easy handling

How to use

Screw the adapter onto the front 52mm thread of the lens until it seats firmly; then attach the lens, now reversed, to the 62mm mount on the camera body or to another lens with a 62mm thread. Ensure threads are clean and free from dust before mounting. Because the adapter provides only mechanical coupling, control aperture and focus manually on the reversed lens or via the camera if supported by the lens design. Confirm secure seating before use to avoid accidental detachment.

Usage recommendations

When shooting macro with the reversed lens, use a tripod or stable support to minimise camera shake and achieve consistent focus. Consider using manual exposure settings and focus bracketing where available. If stacking lenses, verify compatibility and be cautious of vignetting and changes in focal behaviour.
