Christine,
Here are a set of full frame pics to show the magnification effect of reversing a 50mm lens on another lens. 50 on a 50 shows serious vignetting. A steel ruler marked in milimeters was used so you can see how large or should I say small the field of view is.
Pic 1 : 200mm f4 with reverse 50mm f1.4
Pic 2 : 105mm f2.5 with reversed 50mm f1.4
Pic 3 : 50mm f1.4 with rversed 50mm f2
Pic 4 : The lunatic fringe and just for fun, 200mm f4 with reversed 24mm f2.8. Focussing this is a nighmare.
