I recently purchased a 1100d with a crappy 18-55mm lense. My specific interests are in macro, mainly because I can interest my son in taking pictures of spiders!
At a mega budget what's the best way to improve macro pictures? I've just ordered a reverse lense adapter after seeing a few examples online of the 18-55mm reversed and some non automatic extension tubes since I'll lose auto with the reverse adapter anyway.
How would all this fare against a lense like the Sigma AF 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro Canon Fit Lens?
Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 Lens for Canon is also an option.
they can be had for under £100, if this for example would give way better pictures than my budget reverse idea I'll grab one, what do you think?
