Can check out clubsnap for resale or cam shops like Cathay or MS colour.

Koji, MS color confirmed didn't have, have asked before. Not sure about other camera shops. If not can be easily purchased in eBay.

I would not advise you to make the adaptor yourself as it may not be so secure and take the lens weight. I don't think you would want your lens to drop out when you are doing any shooting. With right combination, you can get extreme macro shooting, beyond 10.

That's what I'm getting from the internet as well. Hopefully I can find a solution for this reverse lens mounting. Both hand keep holding the lens and the camera body really hard to do focusing at odd angels.

Thanks bro. I'm still learning to handle this reverse lens method of picture taking. But result is really satisfying for using a reversed 18-55mm lens though.

Tried the pre-setting of the aperature on the lens before removing from the camera and go into reverse len mode. Pictures are sharper.
Just taken some more pictures. Please bear with the quality now for still learning.

Using flash and setting the shutter speed to 200.

Focus on this picture still not very good for the legs are out of focus while the body and head seen well.
