Lens Reverse Mount Adapter Ring KiwiFotos 58mm to 72mm (reverse mounting)

The Lens Reverse Mount Adapter Ring KiwiFotos 58mm to 72mm (reverse mounting) is a metal screw-on adapter that lets photographers mount a 58mm thread lens in reverse onto a 72mm filter thread. Designed for close-up and macro photography, the adapter enables increased magnification by inverting the lens on compatible camera bodies or filter-thread-equipped adapters. Its threaded construction provides stable alignment and a simple attachment method for experimental and detailed macro work.

Advantages

The adapter is made of metal to ensure durability and consistent thread alignment during use. Its straightforward screw-on design requires no tools and allows quick mounting and removal of the reversed lens. By converting a 58mm lens thread to a 72mm filter thread, the ring expands creative options for close focusing and macro exploration without modifying existing lenses.

Suitable for

• Close-up and macro photography using reversed lenses
• Photographers who want increased magnification without specialized macro lenses
• Experimental and creative shooting with existing 58mm thread lenses
• Attaching a reversed lens to camera bodies or adapters that accept 72mm filter threads

Key specifications

• Mount type: reverse adapter (58mm female to 72mm male thread interface)
• Material: metal construction for stability and durability
• Compatibility: designed for lenses with 58mm front filter thread and accessories with 72mm thread
• Attachment: screw-on installation for both lens and filter-thread side
• Use case: intended for close-focus/macro photography by inverting the lens

How to use

To use the adapter, first remove any front filter or cap from the lens and camera accessory. Screw the adapter onto the 58mm front thread of the lens, ensuring secure but not excessive tightening. Then mount the reversed lens assembly onto the camera or filter-thread-equipped adapter with the 72mm thread. Check alignment and confirm firm seating before shooting. Manual focus and manual exposure controls are typically required when using a reversed lens; confirm settings on your camera body and make appropriate exposure adjustments.

Usage recommendations

For steady macro results, use a tripod or stable support and, if available, enable a remote release or camera timer to minimise camera shake. Start with small aperture settings to increase depth of field and experiment with focus stacking for greater subject detail. Inspect threads regularly and avoid over-tightening to prevent wear.
