I also use direct build in frontal flash for my pictures. The only different is that I made this to bounce the light to my target more concentrated than just flare.



And this is how I fix to my camera

Hi,

I just bought the reverse adapter, and when I tried it out on my canon 1100D all I can see from the viewfinder is blurred. I understand that you won't be able to do aperture changes but is it normal to not see anything on the viewfinder?

Go closer to the subject, and it must be brightly lit. Try it in day light and focusing by moving the len in and out to the subject. You can learn more from youtube, just type in search reverse lens.
