NOTE: I am not a photographer and I do not have as much photography knowledge as I whish I would.
I wanted to have a way to use my Samsung NX1000 camera as a macrograph / micrographic tool without having to invest on expensive equipment.
My friend told me I could just reverse the lens, I first tapped the lens up side down and realize of the zooming potential was above my expectation.
As there is no such adaptor I could find over Thingiverse, I designed this simple but effective reverse mount.
It work with the standard 20-50 lens supplied with my NX1000 camera. The focus have to be adjusted by the object distance since there is no access to the zoom ring once the lens is mounted (and focus ring is inactive).
The samples photos here were taken with the camera mounted on a old mechanics marking gauge support which provide very accurate height adjustment.
First 3 photos: calculator ALPHA button, note the very short object to lens distance
4th photo: Bic cigarette lighter
5th photo: 12" LP vinyl record grooves
6th photo: the glue joint of a PLA 3D printed object with the largest porosity measured and object scale added on a CAD software.
7th & 8th photo: a vintage slide film photographed behind a neon tube
