Thread: DSLR for Macro

Almost any DSLR will do tbh, it's the lens/lens set up that matters. You can get into the pros and cons of a full frame sensor vs a crop sensor for depth of field on a macro photo but you're usually spending more for FF.

Have a look at a page like this that shows different ways of getting yourself set up to take macro shots

If you end up with a Canon let me know, you can have my extension tubes and I have a reverse mount ring floating around somewhere too. I used them before buying a dedicated macro lens which changed things for me but it cost more than accessories for a lens I already had.

Once you get stuck in it can get really exciting and you will end up stacking images and lighting them in cool ways, it opens up a whole world of photography.

Do you have a budget in mind?

I will get my wife to contact you if you Pm me with (say) email details. She is a real guru, has multiple cameras for macro use, including microscope attachments. She has helped others and my volunteering of her skills simply means I’m on cooking duty for a tad longer. Check her website: index.html.
