There are several ways to get the macro economic picture to the outrageously expensive. make difficult decisions, especially for someone who does not live photo.

If you decide to explore macro photography you have a number of options. I have these options to see what would be the best equipment for the job are listed. This does not mean that the purchase of special macro lens is morebe better away, but going to get the best results in this way.

* Dedicated Macro lens

* The extension tubes or bellows

* Reversing Rings

*- Up and windshield

* Reduces macro (which push the limits of what we speak)

Dedicated macro lenses are the best way to go if you're serious about doing this kind of everything. It should not be expensive, I boughta wonderful macro and Sigma 50mm for all $ 120 (about $ 270 new), is strong and produces stunning images. My main concern is a macro lens, Sigma 150mm macro, and costs a whopping $ 700, the best investment I've ever spent. This gives you an idea of the price range available, and the sky is the limit with macro lens nikon highly specialized in the range of $ 2000. Why the difference in focal length? I will find out soon in anotherThe article I'm working! If you are seriously interested in buying a camera, specifically designed for macro object is the best way to proceed. The projects aim is optimized for the large rock and lentils are also generally flat surface (developed on a horizontal plane) produces sharp corners of flat objects such as wood chips. Flat-field can be a term that many have not heard before and I will clarify this.

Extension tubesor bellows are pieces of equipment, more space between the camera and lens to focus. They work with very specific objectives, for example, if you have an economic fixed costs over a 50 mm focal length This could be a good option for the macro. The extension tubes are often used (sold separately, rather than high quality tubes) that can be used individually or combined to bring in groups of three different lengthsDevelopment required. bellows units operating on the same principle, but have spread like a "kid", a high degree of flexibility allowed. It 'really moving the effort and are bulky and heavy. I expect that many people use the blower to work in the studio, not only because they are terribly practical in the field. One area that really stand out extension tubes are long lenses as an accent closer to 300mm, ideal for photographing dragonflies and other suspectsCritters.

Focus on the lenses are clear, "filter" that are closer to the front of the objective lens can focus lives. The quality ranges from poor to very tolerable in terms of quality filters. This is probably the best way to start the macro with the shooting, but they also have their disadvantages. An important factor, with the aid must be considered is the quality of the camera there. Likely to produce low price zoomless than stellar results, while the quality fixed focal capable of producing excellent results, but none of these objectives will produce razor sharp results as special macros. The biggest advantage? Since these filters are just fancy, they are very easy, no extra lenses or make additional tubes.

You have not heard a lot more cycles of reversal, and I expect that, since most people with zoom lenses are the ones that probably will not work very well. rings allow you to reverse mount a lens "backwards" from the camera. In lenses with the quality of implementation, results and overwhelming if you return a wide-angle you can often achieve a magnification of about 2 × o. For those interested in shooting with a very high magnification is often the way forward, especially if you're on a budget.

What about the macro-zoom lens you already own? Many of the newLenses> that are part of a kit zoom lenses are characterized as macro and focus as a bit 'more than normal, are not true macro lenses. My experience is that most of them are very suspect in terms of sharpness this application lens are not specific for this type of course work in a pinch, but close to the subject in one of the above options would be best preserved.

What are you doing now? Are you happywith the results?
