When mounted on a bellows, the EL Nikkor 50mm f/2.8 is perfect, in either normal or reversed mounting, for sharp macros up to 4X. Since camera controls and lens aren't connected either mechanically or electrically when using a bellows, the manual aperture control ring is great!

I was looking for an enlarging lens for my camera, and this one is one of the best. I am using it reversed for macro photography.

I bought this lens to use for studio shots of small insects. This lens was intended for use as an enlarger lens. For my purposes I reverse it and mount it on my Digital camera. The mounting threads for normal and reversed mounting are well described on the web so I was able to purchase the proper adapters even before I had the lens in hand. It worked very well on my studio subjects and I am pleased with the resolution. My understanding is that if I were willing to spend several times as much money, I could purchase a similar lens that was a tiny bit sharper in the corners. I am quite content with the value of this lens and don't plan to purchase a replacement. This lens is available at this relatively low price because the transition from processing prints in darkrooms with enlargers is disappearing and it has created a suprlus of this excellent lens.Read full review
