Haha, that's good, because I thought I had a lot of them.
I'm willing to spend that much and even a little more on something as important as that, but over $200 is slightly pushing it.
Okay! Since I'm a beginner, I'll stick with the Nikon D3100.
Wouldn't that be harmful to the lens since dust would be able to get into it? And congrats, that's cool!
What is a flash ring if I may ask? And I'll definitely look it up!
And can extension tubes attach to to, let's say 18-55mm, and make it look macro with good image quality or?
Thanks! And I know what you mean, I start work in about 20 min aha
Macro Flash ring Here
Try to go for a dedicated macro lens, if you do go for tubes, get a well reviewed set with electronic contact points.
I couldn't quote on image quality, but you will need electronic tube to control the aperture on the lens, I believe
Thanks! If I'm correct, a flash ring takes the place of a flash right?
I'll be getting the Tokina 100mm a while after getting my camera so I know how to use the camera correctly first aha.
So then you would have to get that as well to be able to use the extension tubes?
Thanks for the help!
You can use either. I would do DIY stuff before spending too much on a dedicated macro setup. I'm not very well practiced in that particular discipline so I may not be the most helpful guy... I'm just relaying what I have read in the past.
You can use tubes on any lens I believe... But the glass without manual aperture rings will need electronic tubes to operate properly.
