optics - How does a 'reversing adapter with automatic system' deal with the *inverseness* of the reversed lens?


First, I apologize because I don't know the exact name for this kind of adapter. (Please mention the correct term for that kind of adapters...(I mean those reversing adapters that can keep the lens's and the body's communication going))



I mean this kind of system...enter image description here


So here's my question. Once the lens gets reversed, the whole light gathering thing gets reversed right? I mean, now the lens is facing its former back to the subject. ....when we look through a telescope from the wrong end, the image that used to be magnified, gets compressed. And thus, (but inversely) a wide angle lens becomes a lens with more magnification. So, with that reversing, don't the aperture and the focus of the particular lens get.. eh..reversed? They do, right? So, how does the system control the aperture and the focus?

Why is the front element of a telephoto lens larger than a wide angle lens?

A wide angle lens has a wide angle of view, therefore it would make sense that the front of the lens would also be wide. A telephoto lens ha...
