Hey guys. 1st post here. New to "serious" photography.
I have a D90 and a few kit lenses (18-55 and 70-300). I also just purchased the 50mm prime f/1.8G for indoor portraits along with the SB-910 flash. I want to get into macro, but don't "yet" want to dish out >500$ for a dedicated macro lens, especially since I'm just starting out. I've read about close up filters and extension tubes as good alternatives.
Questions: between filters and extension tubes, which would you pick? Which brand? And if you picked closes-up filters, for which of my lenses?
Many thanks.
