Yes you are right Nick, the mount end of the reversed lens is open to the elements, so not something that you would be wanting to do with pristine AF lenses.

Not too much of a problem though, if you can make use of some old SLR lenses you may have - i.e. like in my case, my old Canon FD lenses which are currently just gathering dust.
