It's best to get a standard macro lens, get use to focusing at life size, and then add extension tubes, a teleconverter (with and without the tubes) or a close-up filter like the 500D. I've seen too many people try to jump into macro by getting the MPE-65mm only to sell it on eBay after a few weeks of frustration...Dalantechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491343159917303555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-27983985279299596132008-03-15T04:28:00.000-07:002008-03-15T04:28:00.000-07:00First off, your photos are AMAZING!

Because I'd love to take pictures of insects too but wouldn't want to get too close to them.mikeesilvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455496352969875491noreply@blogger.com
