Thank you for your patience in advance. I've been reading through the forums, but some of the info in the threads I needed a bit more clarity (i.e. don't assume I can follow the lingo).
I've got a mFT GF1. Years ago I used (and still have) a Canon AT-1 (and loved it). I still have the FD 50mm 1.8 lens. I've read that I can use that lens on my GF1 if I purchase a mFT-->Canon adapter ring like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Novoflex-Adapter-Connects-Lenses-Thirds/dp/B002MXOISS
But it is over $200... is that what I should expect?
Second, I've read I can reverse this 50mm lens to do some macro shots. I also read I can reverse my mFT 20mm pancake lens to do macro. But I need reversing rings and maybe extension tubes? Or both?
Can someone please help me figure out what adapters, reversing rings, and configurations I should try given the lenses I have?
Looking forward to learning from all of you,
Karyn
