what's a good macro lens to start with? aside from the reverse technique, what's the cheapest legitimate macro lens to start with?

i satisfied with my set up 50mm 1.8D + raynox 250 macro conversion lens.. you can also try this or make it an option.

alright, i was thinking of trying to find manual macro lenses from old cameras maybe those would work?

Pwede rin as long as ma-mount mo siya sa camera mo, ang importante naaadjust ang aperture.

No, I'm talking about the real macro lens, EF 100mm f2.8 USM.

@ Arkiroms - Thanks, Chief! Your thoughts on the EF 100mm F2.8 F/2.8 L MACRO IS USM? Besides portraits, can it be used for indoor sports?

Haven't really used it (just tried) but I guess it can be used for indoor sports.

Just tried the Macro EF 100mm f2.8 at 11th Toycon @ Megamall! Galing! Fast, tack sharp at creamy yung bokeh! Coming from D90 and switching to 7D I can say the output can go side by side with Nikkor macro 105mm f2.8!

(special thanks to gamerboy for lending it to me kanina) ☺☺☺
