Advice needed for MACRO newbie

[fossil87]

Bro my recommend is dun use extension tube. I am ex user of it and I found that the image you take will not sharp and there weight that if u are not use tripod and u tend to shake more. Macro cannot stand any shake once shake is gone your image will be blur. Rayno is better choice and 2nd hand is a cheap choice if u still not ready to go in macro or u can join a group macro at cs and lent from them. Hope this help you.

Thanks for the advise.

Just noticed that both my lens are 77mm filter size. Can't fit the Raynox.

How to overcome your problems:

1. Not sharp - use smaller aperture opening e.g. F8 or F11 (better DOF) and use flash

2. Camera shake - once you use flash, you'll overcome the camera shake; the flash will freeze the action

Hi guys! I'm looking into macro photography after shooting landscapes previously, been stalking here and learning from the pictures =D Gotten myself a raynox 250 but found out AF only works with my 18-55 kits lens (didn't work with the 50mm f1.8, 55-250mm and tamron 17-50 vc)...

So I'm wondering, does AF works with the Tamron 90mm f2.8 and Canon 100mm f2.8 as well?
