anyone??

..
 

perhaps u may wanna get a macro teleconverter or lens ??? and if u want u can also attach a 50mm prime in reverse to this macro tc.....

cheers...
 

yoz gerald, Any good prime lens tt is cheap that can intro?
Btw i think the F-stop is also quite important right? my dad's slr lens can
only open until 3.5 only so it is still relatively small and alot of vignetting.
 

juz get a 50mm prime lo..at most is 180 new.....with reverse rings and all for macro prob ard 200+ ... i would prefer the nikon mount one...coz it has an aperture ring, which allows u to control the DOF....and wateva else the aperture can do....

hmm... okok..btw, if i dun wanna get e lense for temp, how do I tke macro shots? Need to change the telephoto/wide angle thing? Or on, change to macro mode, put it near the object and shoot?
 

get a filter extension tube, buy some close up filters and swtich to macro mode. Shoot away! total cost would be less than $40.

dun worry about having perfect equipment! shoot with what you have! and enjoying shooting!
 

Anyone has any recommended setup for macro photography using canon A75/A85/A95 ???

I know that megaweb has got a really good setup, but i think that it's too costly for me to imitate his.

Any good alternatives?what accessories exactly do i need to get?

Thanks!
 

Basic piece of equipmemt you need is a lens adapter to allow you to attach the close up lens or filter. You can either get the default plastic canon lens adapter or the aluminium lensmate adapters from US :)

BTW I have a 52mm +4 Hoya Close up Filter I'm not using, anyone interested can pm me

Canon A series dosen't have?
 

Huh? canon A series have.... la. i have a 52mm one and a 37mm one. But i don really like both of them coz they got their flaws when using them but when it comes to shooting, a 52mm will block ur internal flash.
I don't like the adapters but i like them when the lens is mounted on haha.
