Hello,
Would be most appreciative for any thoughts and suggestions.
My Grandson a while ago received a gift of a Canon EOS SLR.
Nice gift.
Would like to buy him as a gift a new lens for.
Thinking of a Very Closeup lens.
Photography isn't my "thing," and frankly have no idea what to get.
For taking very, very, close shots of, e.g., items on a table, such as stamps, or pieces of minerals,
what mm FL do I probably want to go for ?
*Or, would this FL be too extreme, and there is a "better"
compromise FL that would potentially be more useful ?
Pros, cons, limitations, etc. for what are commonly called "close-up
lenses" would really be appreciated.
$150 would be our limit.
Are there Canon Lenses in this price range, or are there other
"good" ones at < $ 150 I should consider ? I know nothing about good Lens brands.
Thanks, help and suggestions most appreciated.
Great Forum.
Regards,
Bob
