Old Canon kit lenses (35-80, 28-90mm) modification for macro.

Yes I can zoom, but DoF is nonexistent even at f22, and magnification is more than lifesize, maybe 1.5x

Wasn't extreme macro the reason you did the modification?

I don't know much about macro photography but I did the reverse lens method once, with two lenses. Also extremely thin DOF. I took I don't know how many shots and I ended up with only one that was useable. But, I had no reverse ring adapter at the time. I bought one but then never took another macro shot. :oops;

Yes indeed, I have to search for something flat to have it in focus, but it's a lot easier and lighter than two lenses joined together. A cheap method that works well with some objects.
