Hi
I really love doing animal / insect pics. I have been trying to learn what lens is best to get really up close to insects. I can’t go to the best canon lenses as they are out of my price range.
I know I need at least a 1:1 macro ratio. I found a lot of people just say it’s a macro. F2:8 etc.
What advice can you knowledgeable people throw at me regarding type of lens. Being fixed or zoom. 100mm or other? F2:8 or f1:8?
Maybe a non canon lens?
For now I just want to buy one to learn with, so want as good as I can afford.
Any info is much appreciated.
