I am a newbie and interested to take closeup photos of insects, flowers, objects etc..any recommendations, for a start, on what macro lens to buy e.g. brand, cost etc..i am using a canon 600D. Thanks
many have bought the tamron 90mm as a starting lens, cos good and cheap. Some are still using it, some will change and sell it off due to the extension during the focusing.
So it depends if u wanna jump straight into a good investment or jus wanna try try only. (not saying tamron is not a good lens).
Also what is ur budget? there are macro lens costing from $3++ - $2+++
Play play get the Raynox 250 can already 2.5 magnification at $130, add on to your kit lens.
Test on pns cam not too shabby (just mind the shabby compression while jpg uploaded)
welcome, some gears to think about is a macro lens, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM, some suggested Raynox 250, some suggested Extension Tube. You may wish to look into getting a ring flash.
