Pankaj ji While trying to migrate to true macro lens I just learnt about single element close up lenses (which I use presently) and double element close up lenses
At about 3-4x times that cost are double-element achromat close-up lenses, like Canon's 250D and 500D, or Hoya's Close Up Macro Multicoated. These will give much better results, but then the limitation will be the base lens with which they're used. Similar to using extension tubes. Any experience with these and your comments on these. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
