You could reverse your lens as mentioned, but its nice to have a dedicated macro. You might manual focus a lot for macro, but there are also plenty of handheld auto focus macro shots available for you to shoot, so a dedicated macro lens is fun and convenient to have. I don't have that particular lens, I have the Tamron 60mm macro. My focus reaches infinity at around 10 feet, so it behaves a little differently and it's slow when auto focusing on a normal, more distant subject. I also have a 50mm 1.8 lens and I would not say they are too similar to own both.</p></blockquote><p></p>
