Lens Reverse Mount Adapter Ring KiwiFotos 49mm to 55mm

KiwiFotos 49mm to 55mm lens reverse mount adapter ring enables mounting a 49mm threaded lens reversed onto a 55mm filter or threaded mount. It provides a direct mechanical connection for reverse-mount macro photography, converting the smaller lens thread to fit larger camera bodies, lens adapters or filter holders with 55mm threads. The adapter is made of lightweight metal for stable contact while remaining compact and portable for field use.

Advantages

The adapter ring offers a simple and reliable solution for reverse macro shooting without optical elements, preserving the optical characteristics of the lens used. Its metal construction ensures durability and a secure thread connection, while the minimal profile reduces vignetting and keeps the assembly lightweight. By converting thread sizes, it increases compatibility between lenses and accessories designed for 55mm mounts.

Suitable for

• Reverse-mount macro photography with 49mm lenses
• Close-up and detail photography using reversed lens optics
• Attaching 49mm lenses to accessories or bodies with 55mm filter threads
• Experimental and creative lens combinations in studio or field work

Key specifications

• From thread size: 49mm (female side for lens attachment)
• To thread size: 55mm (male side for filter or accessory attachment)
• Material: lightweight metal construction for stability and durability
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating for long-term use
• Profile: low-profile ring to minimise added distance and reduce vignetting

How to use

To use the adapter, screw the 49mm side onto the front filter thread of the lens intended for reverse mounting. Then thread the 55mm side into the filter mount or accessory on the camera or lens holder. Ensure both threads engage smoothly and are tightened by hand until secure; avoid cross-threading. When mounted, operate exposure and focus manually as required for macro shooting, and use appropriate support such as a tripod or focusing rail for precise framing.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter with lenses known to perform well in reverse for macro work, and pair with adequate lighting and support to compensate for reduced working distance and depth of field. Check thread alignment before tightening and store the adapter dry to preserve the coating and threads.
