Hi all,
I'm a newbie, newbie here and a newbie in DSLRs. Just got my Nikon D3100 a few months ago, and I'm interested in trying macro photography. I can't afford a true macro lens as its too costly. I know that extension tubes and close-up lenses are available, but which out of these is better? And their price in Singapore?
I'm aware that extension tubes cause a loss of light, and are more expensive than close-up lenses.
On the other hand, I've heard that close-up lenses can cause image degradation if I use a one-piece lens (or something like that). And, are they as good as extension tubes? In the sense which one allows me to take closer pics?
Thanks!
