I have a Canon Rebel film, and also a 70-200mm zoom lens (that I borrow, not actually mine ) I want to get into macro though and I understand that it may be cheaper to get a used camera body and several lenses for that rather than purchase a macro for my rebel. I dont mind it being all manual since it's primarily for macro anyway, so:
-What's a good camera body for that, reasonable quality also affordable (used)?
-I'm still having trouble understanding what exactly is different about macro lenses. I understand that they let you get closer and make the image larger, but what about the lens is different that causes that effect?
-What's a reasonably inexpensive light meter I can find used?
Thanks for the help, I'm really enjoying photography, and it's hard because all I have to go on are books so I appreciate anyone's imput.
