Wanted to share a recent discovery I made with my fellow photogs…
If you’ve ever been interested in macro/close-up photography, then you know how expensive it can be to get a good dedicated macro lens. They definitely work great, but are usually limited to 1:1 reproduction ratio and most people don’t shoot enough macro photos to warrant the acquisition cost. I made this mistake myself, but fortunately inflation worked to my favor and I was able to sell my 105mm f/2.8 VR for more than what I paid 4 years ago (lucked out!).
So for those who like to shoot on a budget (like me), there is a cheap and fun way to get into macro photography.
