Yep you read correctly...a $15 Macro Lense INCLUDING shipping. Well in all honesty it isn't a lense, but an adapter. I recently purchased (off ebay) a reverse ring adapter for my 50mm f/1.8 prime. And here are the results (No Cropping At All - Slight Sharpening On Both Pics):
50MM - Normal (Minimum Possible Focus Distance)

50MM - Reversed (Minimum Possible Focus Distance)

Overall the only problem with this lense is because it is reversed it is manual focus and you cannot adjust the aperture (in this case 1.8) other than that it is a great purchase and I would definitely recomend it.
Good Luck
