I feel you bro keep on trying and climb up divisions on the weekend <| sep |> ITT people that hate children <| sep |> and its all come full circle now <| sep |> So sales dropped by ~ 2530 %. If that ' s the case , then that ' s pretty good . Probably doing even a lot better with a good number of people that bought the Digital Deluxe edition . <| sep |> Closest focus distance is only half the equation . A 60 mm lens that focuses down to 1 m will give the same magnification as a 30 mm lens that focuses down to 0 . 5 m . What you are really looking for is maximum magnification . A good macro lens should give you 11 or better magnification meaning that the object will appear on the sensor at it ' s actual size . A full frame 11 macro lens will give you 1 . 51 magnification on apsc . If she is just looking to play around with macro , but isn ' t yet ready to commit to anything , macro tubes work pretty well and can be found cheap . They reduce the minimum focus distance of your existing lenses at the expense of losing infinity focus . If I was looking to buy a canon macro lens today , without quesion I ' d get the canon 100 MM F 2 . 8 L macro . Great lens , not cheap , but great . Also a nice portraitmid telephoto lens with mindblowing sharpness .
