I plan to use the Nikon UR-E5 to get to 46mm, then use a 46-52 step up ring, then the reversed Nikon 50.1.8 (52mm). I also have a Nikon #4T clsoe up to add before the 50/1.8 if I need more mag. Would my mag. be 85/50 = 1.7 at full zoom? What would it be with the #4T added? Any ideas, opinions. Eyron
