[QUOTE="Vixen, post: 371922, member: 21839"] Autofocus is all but useless in macro work. You have such a shallow depth of field, that just breathing changes the focal point and the camera will continually "hunt" for focus. You could get a set of cheap extension rings until you can afford a lens. They are like $14 on eBay so no biggie if you only use them for a short time. ;) or there are macro filters you can get. I can't comment on them not having ever used them but extension tubes work OK as an interim. [/QUOTE]
