Hey!

Hey guys!

I've been using K-x with 50/1.7 for 5 or 6 years, however I've realized that I need some macro lens for (budget) product photography... So here I am - reading and learning

Cheers!

welcome to the forums

you will find friendly members and a lot of knowledge here

some of us [ moi included ] love to advise others on how to spend their money

looking at macro, may I suggest you look at this article:

I like the members of the Pentax 100mm F2.8 Macro family of lenses myself:
QuoteQuote:

Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 WR Macro Review
Specifications
The lens covers the full 24x36mm format, not just APS-C. The aperture blades are rounded, delivering a smoother bokeh which is important for a macro lens. However, unlike its predecessor, it has no aperture ring.



The optical design is the tried-and-proven formula of the previous generation D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro lens, which in turn had inherited the optical design from the well-respected FA 100mm F2.8 and F 100mm F2.8 macro lenses introduced in 1991 and 1987, respectively. None of these earlier lenses had rounded aperture blades. . . .

macro choices can depend on whether you want 1:1 as well as are you doing " field " macro or " studio " macro
