Hi all. Im quite keen on macro photography, and bought a Raynox lens to play around with. Fixed it onto my 50mm prime, and had fun in the gardens.
My question is, what are the reasons to get a true macro lens over such a setup? Also, how do I decide which macro lens focal length to buy? Do macro lens have zoom? What Ive found using the raynox is that I need to move my tripod backwards and forwards in order to adjust what I want the lens to focus on (e.g. part of a flower petal, or the stamen,etc) . Would that be the case with true macro lenses too?
