I've been spending the past few months coveting a dedicated macro lens, but I just can't justify the expense, given that my photography serves no practical purpose, and I haven't even put the tools at my disposal through their paces yet. Tonight, just to see if I could get it out of my system, I screwed on my 'macro close-up lens,' which isn't even a lens, it's more like a filter. It lets you focus closer, yes, but the focusing range gets much smaller and the DOF is practically non-existent. I was just reading this, and to a great extent I agree, but sometimes that just doesn't help.
Anyway, the 100mm f/2.8 is still in my (somewhat distant) future. Until then, I'll just photograph things from normal distances, or use my P&S, which has a pretty decent macro setting.
Thanks to Evan for being my hand model here!
