i don't want to have the trouble of bringing out another lens for quickie macro, so i am thinking of either filter or extension tubes to achieve better close-up.
i know the raynox 250 is one of the best choices, and i would jump at it... except that the filter size is smaller than what i usually bring out.
i was thinking of close-up filters - is the canon 500D close-up filter really good compared to Hoya kind which you can combine?
or are extension tubes better?
i intend to use it either with 24-105 or 135 or even with 50 which gives filter size of 72-77mm. i guess if i get the canon 500D then i'll get a stop-down ring to fit the 72mm filter size.
