RE: About Photography: Macro Extension Tubes - Macro on a Budget
A good approach for small pockets. But I prefer a macro lens. If you take a 90 or 85 f=2.8 you get a macro lens and a portrait lens at once. Sadly, my tubes didn't work well with my lens. (upvoted)
Yeah, but you'll get more magnification with the tubes and it doesn't cost anything to try out. (besides the 10$) But of course you'll have keep changing the rings and mounting/unmounting the lens to switch between portrait and macro. But a real macro lens is better, more convenient.
You are absolutely correct. Another option could be to buy an old macro lens. My tubes were about $60+ as far as I remember. I should have chosen the old lens.
