Hi all,
Recently started photography as a hobby.. Currently I'm only equipped with the canon 18-135mm kit lens.
I'm thinking of going into Macro shooting but am hesitating to go out and buy a dedicated macro lens as of now. So.. here are my questions:
1) Would close-up filters be a good choice to start off my mac shots (and more importantly, will they work with my current lens)?
2) I'm also thinking of investing in a set of prime lens (say the canon 50mm, f1.8 or 1.4) for sharper portraits. Will close up filters work on that as well?
3) If I'm only in still-life mac shots (i.e. not much of shooting small animals), will I still require more than 1:1 magnification?
Thanks in advance for the advice..
