[QUOTE="hark, post: 751842, member: 13196"] If cost is a factor, this is decent option. Kenko and Vello both make extension tube sets that are supposed to be fully compatible when it comes to using a camera's exposure meter (best to confirm first to be sure). These will allow non-macro lenses to focus much more closely (and can also be used with macro lenses if desired). In the video, he compares the images of an 85mm lens with extension tubes to images taken with a 90mm macro lens. With the 85mm lens, he's able to take photos that come very close to the view that the 90mm macro offers. If interested, just be sure to find out if these tubes will offer full compatibility with your current bodies and lenses. There are other extension tubes on the market that aren't compatible with TTL metering. Kenko Extension Tube Set: [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/375238-REG/Kenko_AEXTUBEDGN_Auto_Extension_Tube_Set.html[/URL] Vello Extension Tube Set: [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/787224-REG/vello_ext_nd_auto_focus_ext_tube.html[/URL] In this video, Matt Granger compares an 85mm lens coupled with extension tubes to a 90mm macro lens.
