Hello! As you know by the title I'm interested in starting macro photography with my R7, but I have a few questions first. My first question is what lens would be good for me? For the RF mount, I see only 1 macro lens that is within my budget of around $500 and that was the RF 85mm f/2. That only has a 0.5x magnification which I don't think would be best for what I plan on shooing (spiders, other insects, fungi, and plants). Are there any good third-party options I could get,

Do you need AF? Do you need IS? If no&no I would definitely check third party options (Laowa, Tokina, Tamron, Sigma).

and use an ef to rf adapter? My last question is how does an APS-C body perform in macro photography?

Great. More DOF, more pixels on the subject.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
