Thumbs up Thanks

Thanks for the help. I was looking at ebay and such but most are just described by the focal length. I suppose more research is in order. The question arose looking at one of the lenses I have, it calls itself a macro lense but the markings only go to 1:4. I wanted to find more information as to wether or not it would be worth purchasing a true macro lens.

Thanks for the help. I think this supports my thought that a "real" macro lens would make quite a bit of a difference. I would probably be looking for an older manual focus lens. I like them so much more they seem to be more solid and they make me think.

Thanks again. Have pleny of time to do my research.
