I'm looking to try out some macro photography. I'll probably rent a lens first. I've looked at what various macro lenses go for but I am a little confused. I've done some research but I want to clarify my understanding.
I see lenses like 60mm, 80mm, etc. What is a good focal length to start with? I assume the answer will have something do with how close I need to get to the object to be photographed.
I take it that a 60mm macro is just like a 60mm prime, but with the ability to get in real close and have the ability to focus on the object.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
