Macro Photography.

RBeckom

True macro photography is defined as life sized or larger. This in short means that the image on the camera sensor is the same size or even magnified to larger than life. I enjoy taking photos of small images and then increase they're size as far as possible. Macro. Does any one else share in this interest? I'd love to see your photos.

I shoot with a DSLR so I'd have to get a lens to do it. I honestly wouldn't use a different camera since I have a DSLR so that'd just be X amount of money to put towards the lens instead

What camera do you use? I have a Canon T2i and I picked up a Sigma EX 50mm Macro lens on Ebay and it was under $200 shipped. They go for over $350 new and this one was in like new condition. I know a lot of people frown on third party lenses and components but I have been very happy with the Sigma. I use it as my main lens too since it is a 2.8 and the Macro is just an added bonus.

I shoot with a Nikon D50 and the old lady shoots on a D5100. I'll have to check out Sigma's lenses. Thanks for the info man

No problem and I'm pretty sure they make that same lens for a Nikon mount too. I was in the same boat and actually got just the camera body when I got my T2i and then got the Sigma lens. The lens I really want to get is the Canon 24-105 4.0 but it's a $1000 lens. I like that the Sigma is a Macro lens but also 2.8 so it's still a great all purpose lens. Hope you can find something that's not too expensive.

I just ordered A four piece macro lens kit for my z981 today. It includes A 2x, 3x, 4x and 10x lens. For this camera I also had to order A lens adapter in 72mm. These lenses are stack-able so magnification should be no problem. If all works well it will be my first real venture into true macro. All included I spent less than sixty dollars for the equipment. Macro on A budget. I'll post new photos when the lenses arrive and we'll see if the money was well spent.
