Hello all,
Im new to the dslr world, just got a rebel today. The macro out of the box is ok, but Ive been using a nikon 4500, and the macro on that is much better than the rebel with the 18-55 (not really surprised since the 4500 is well known as a very good macro camera)
so I'd like to be able to at least replicate the macro ability of my 4500. Ive been reading up and it looks like the 100mm is the way to go, but very pricey for a specialized lense(it would be cheaper for me just to keep my 4500 )
is anyone using the 50mm compact macro lense, and if so, got any examples? that is a little more in my price range and would also be a useful lense to have around for non macro use.
I realize most of you are going to say go with the 100mm...but just thought Id check in and see if anyone was shooting the 50mm
thanks in advance,
sean
