If I had the money, I'm sure I would have a lot of the same equipment you do. For years I have been interested in various aspects of post. I have the most experience in broadcast graphics, but I have worked with my fair share of live-action, doing corrections and matte and 3d tracking and whatnot. It's definitely an extension of the geek culture, like you said. & I would love to see a sample from the 52mm! That’s very cool.

It is mounted on the place where you add 52mm filters, not the len's mount to the camera. Using a lens the wrong side up won't give you the result that you would expect. That's why this trick can only be used with macro lenses. That lens in the picture is mounted on the wrong side (reversed).
