[QUOTE="Tarantulafeets, post: 199593, member: 36666"] I started out using the same clip-on lens [USER=33266]@Oursapoil[/USER] suggested, and got some pretty good results. But I just wanted a bit more, so I got into micro 4/3 like [USER=37487]@Vermis[/USER] did, and got a Lumix G7 with a 14 - 42mm and 45 - 150mm for around $600. I got some extension tubes and used those with the 14 - 42mm, along with the built in flash and a homemade diffuser, and it worked pretty well. There was some chromatic aberration on the sides if you zoomed in a bit, which was a little annoying though. [ATTACH type="full"]58820[/ATTACH] I then recently got a new lens, the 7artisans 60mm f2.8 macro mkII, which is all manual. It can do 1:1, and there is no CA, which is much better. The only downside is that it doesn't have any stabilization whatsoever, and my camera doesn't as well, so it can be really shaky at times, or hard to focus. But when it is in focus, it can really shine . [ATTACH type="full"]58821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]58822[/ATTACH] A clip-on lens for your phone will still work great, and don't underestimate phone cameras, as even though they have small sensors, with enough light, they can still make a good picture.
