reverse mounting a lens

anyone ever try this? i'm trying to figure out how this works... so if i reverse a lens with an adaptor, stupid question but... when i look in the viewfinder the images will be magnified considerably right? also, can i still turn the different **** thingy so as to manually focus on an object? man i feel like a dweeb

any help would be appreciated cause i want to try out a cheap 28mm prime lens reverse mounted onto some extension tubes.

i've just tried this with my 50/1.4. it seems to work fine. just be careful of not damaging the rear of the lens.
