Hello, I am wanting to use my Canon 550D for brickfilming however I do not posses the necessary lenses to do so (focus is too far). Is there any lenses I should consider purchasing (obviously marco type lenses but I'm talking model and brand)
If you want to go cheaper in price than the Canon brand lenses but still want that great quality, go with the Tamron F/2 60mm...it's a beauty.
Consider using old manual (non-macro) lenses with macro rings / tubes.
I use a pentacon 29mm (and a 50mm) and with macro rings, I can get focus to several millimeters from the lens. (Getting light between the subject and the lens, now that's the real question!)
Cost of that total package: about 75 euro's...
