[QUOTE="kamakiri, post: 172847, member: 2135"] Any lenses can be used for macro...if you also get some close-up lenses that mount on the front filter ring. Or use reversing rings with two lenses. What lens do you currently have? What is your budget? Personally, I find it easier to recommend one of the sigma macros like the 50/2.8 or 105/2.8. The 50mm can be found on occasion for around $100-$150. There are also other inexpensive options involving using adapters to mount older manual focus/film camera lenses like Olympus OM. An OM 50/3.5 can be had for $50 or so on ebay and the OM-EOS adapters can be bought for about $15. [/QUOTE]
