Re: Lens comparison for macro work

You've received lots of interesting advice regarding lenses, macro, technique and so forth.  One can study the subject to death, or one can just get out there and start shooting.

Lenses and lighting are important, but so is composition, subject matter, approach, intended use (huge gallery prints vs social media posts viewed on a smartphone, for instance) and so forth.  Lots of variables.

Anyone who takes any part of the photographic hobby seriously will find that their equipment, technique and approaches evolves with time.  I doubt much, for example, that John started out caring as much about lighting as he does now!

Perhaps the key is to just do something.  There is no best choice.  (and with lenses, especially used, copy to copy variation makes "best" even more iffy.  My best may well not be yours.)

Just don't forget the most important aspects of this hobby:  go have fun.  and experiment.
