Re: Cheaper Macro options

I’ve used the Raynox 150, for several years, on many lenses due its very flexible spring adapter. I’ve used it less in recent weeks because I bought the Canon 500D achromatic lens, 58mm filter fit. The Raynox, with its adapter, is easiest to use. The Canon has a slightly easier/ longer working depth and with a couple of step up/down rings can be used on a range of lenses ( 46, 52 plus the native 58mm). Either will serve you well.
