Re: best Macro lens setup for Jewelry

Just wanted to start off by saying I have very little experience in photography, but I'm a quick learner.

I work for a pawn shop, and recently started posting jewelry online. The setup we have is a Canon Rebel XTi (DS126151) with a canon EFS 17-85mm lens. It says macro on the lens but the pictures for our jewelry just isn't coming out sharp enough. Is there a cheap variation, or bang for the buck lens I should buy? or maybe some adapters that would fix my issue?... any help is appreciated. Also we are using a light-box for the jewelry so lighting isn't an issue.

Thanks

Raynox DCR-250 close up lens. Excellent quality.  Clips right on and off the lens.  Right up your alley...

Have fun!
