Thank you for the recommendation, Toad. I wonder if you or Zig have posted any photos taken with the Tamron 90mm lens? It would be nice to see an example.
Whilst I have not ruled out buying a dedicated macro lens, I have done a little research on the 500D close up lens and it appeals to me because it's something that would be light and easy to carry. Unfortunately it it comes in 52mm, 58mm, 72mm and 77mm diameters and my Tamron lens is 62mm. Would I better to look for another brand that has a 62mm option, or could I use a converter for the Canon attachment? If I did use a converter, should I use the 58mm or 72mm attachment? I expect I should go larger? I'm new to this... so don't be afraid to speak to me like I know nothing!
Thanks again for all your advice and recommendations.
