last night picked up a Canon T5 for cheap on Craigslist. Thing was still sealed in the box so i feel like i got a good deal on it. Came with a EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens. Been wanting one for a long time, but never pulled the trigger. I mainly bought it to take watch pics, but told the wife it was so we can take nice pics on vacations as well instead of using our phones. Ive never done any type of photography and this is the 1st camera ive bought in a decade.
After doing a little bit of reading about getting good close up shots, I bought a cheap reverse lens mount adapter and an Auto Focus Extension Tube on Amazon for $30.
What is a good, cheap lens for Macro Shots? What is everyone using for their Macro shots?
Holding the lens backwards up to the camera seemed to work pretty good last night, but was hard to get it to focus.
Also, what other accessories are a must? I bought a small tripod to be able to take macro shots, but what else is good to have for both macro shots, and everyday shooting?
