I told this seller that it looks as though he has the cells reversed in this Nikon 65mm lens:

So he relisted it:

He's in Japan, so maybe he didn't understand what I was trying to tell him.

Maybe he fixed it but just never took a new picture. :D

Maybe because the 65mm focuses so close to the camera back he get stuck his hand through the camera back and adjusted the shutter that way.

To reverse it should be no problem with photoshop:rolleyes:

Reversed for macro.

Hmm, I thought it might be reversed for self-portraits. Imagine being able to focus and take your own picture without ever coming out from under the dark cloth!

That'd only work if you used a black light.:p
