Need help with lens
I could use some advice on what lens to purchase. I am looking for a decent macro lens for my canon a720is. A low, med, and high price range would be nice since I have little idea on where to start.
Thanks in advance. Chris |

Re: Need help with lens
If you can, go for HD2 lenses, they are flatter than regular cheapo lenses which means less chromatic abberation and sharper clearer images.
http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-58mm-Pr.../dp/B000GBCYF2 These are the bog-standard ones.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLOSE-UP-LENS-...QQcmdZViewItem The one's I listed are 58mm thread by the way. I don't know what adapter tube you are using, but look for the same thread size. Oh, and ... Welcome to the board m8

Re: Need help with lens
You might also want to pore over the A70 Super Macro sticky. The same technique and equipment will work for your A720.
