You know, spring is busting out, and I was out this weekend. Don't discount using the kit lens. The EF-S 18-55mm IS STM is not bad as a macro lens. It also has IS (not to be discounted!), and the minimum subject size is the same as a lot of full-frame (1:2) macro lenses! The working distance isn't bad either. So if you just want to try some photos to find out what you need, consider starting with that one, which you likely have already.

And add the Raynox DCR-250 to the 18-55 kit lens and you can shoot some great close-ups (about a 45mm frame size).
