Where to buy a reversing ring for the Niko D5100 in the Philippines for macro photography.


I visited Picture City at SM City Annex yesterday Nov. 15,2013. I noticed that there were reversing rings on display. But I was a little shocked that the diameter for Nikon was labeled 56 mm!, when we all know that the filter diameter is 52 mm. Some store clerks really do not know what they are selling.


I visited Henry's at Trinoma, Quezon City, today Nov. 16,2013, in the morning expecting that it stocks a reversing ring. Alas there was none!

Finally I visited Jep's House of Gadgets at Robinson's Forum, Pioneer St., Mandaluyong near the Boni MRT station.There I got an unbranded hard plastic reverssing ring with label RING 52MM NIKON for P400.00. I will report if this really works.



Some people say that it is useless to have a reversing ring with the standard zoom lens, best satisfactory results are for a fixed lens! But it does not hurt to try. I will post photos later.


Nov 17,1:00 AM Unfortunate but I get a "Lens not attached" message! The explanation is that the camera should be set to Manual Mode.
