Lens Reverse Mount Adapter 58mm to 58mm, KiwiFotos SB1999

The KiwiFotos Lens Reverse Mount Adapter 58mm to 58mm is a metal adapter ring designed to mount a 58mm-threaded lens in reverse for macro and close-up photography. By allowing the lens to be attached flipped onto a camera body or onto another compatible adapter, this accessory enables higher magnification and closer focusing than the lens normally allows. The mechanical connection preserves alignment and provides a stable, manual setup for stills or focus stacking workflows without electronic contacts.

Advantages

The adapter is made of metal for durability and reliable fit, maintaining consistent registration between the reversed lens and the camera or another adapter. Its 58mm-to-58mm thread interface offers a straightforward mechanical solution for photographers who want to explore macro shooting with existing lenses. Because it contains no electronic connections, the adapter is simple, lightweight and compatible across systems that accept a 58mm filter thread.

Suitable for

• Macro and close-up photography using standard lenses with a 58mm filter thread
• Focus stacking to increase depth of field in small-subject photography
• Creative magnification and DIY macro setups without dedicated macro lenses
• Photographers seeking a manual, purely mechanical solution for reversing lenses

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for durability and stable fit
• Thread size: 58mm external and 58mm internal thread interface
• Compatibility: designed for lenses and accessories using a 58mm filter/thread
• Function: enables lens mounting in reverse to achieve increased magnification
• Electrical contacts: none — manual operation only

How to use

To use the adapter, screw it onto the lens filter thread, then mount the reversed lens onto the camera body or into an appropriate mount or another adapter that accepts the 58mm thread. Because there are no electronic connections, set exposure, aperture (if supported by the lens), and focus manually, or use the camera’s exposure and live-view aids to fine-tune composition and sharpness. Use a tripod, rail, or other stabilization to reduce camera movement and to facilitate precise focus stacking if required.

Usage recommendations

For best results in macro work, pair the reversed lens setup with stable support (tripod or macro rail), controlled lighting, and small aperture steps when focus stacking. Be aware that reversing a lens typically disables autofocus and electronic aperture control, so plan for manual control of focus and exposure. Handle the adapter and mounted lens carefully to avoid strain on the camera mount.
