Originally posted by DanLoc78 another dilemma i have is...once i have these three lenses...none of them are macro. any suggestions for a good macro out there? (floodgates open)
DA*50-135 as a macro lens:
OK, I admit, there is a converter and some +2 close up filter involved also. The DA*50-135 works fine with an extension tube as well (though without AF).
If you can't get a dedicated macro lens yet, go for some of the cheap short cuts meanwhile: tube, macro converter, close up filters...
...or a MF older macro lens, the Tamron SP 90/2.5, or the Pentax-M 100/4 macro does not cost much.
