eh, for that price, might as well get it for the lulz if you don't have a better standard zoombudget macro lens = 50mm+extension tubesno such thing as a cheap macro lens unless you buy used or some russian made shit
wait, that's not the 28-70 i knowthat's way to smallthe 28-70 is a 2.8 lens and it's big as fuck
>>159351OP: It is 2.8 to 4.5, but its pretty tiny. about 2.8 inches on the camera according to the spec im reading.Whats an optimal spec for a Macro/wide angle lens then?

a true macro lens isn't a zooma wide angle for digital starts at 17-18mm
>>159355Also known as 18-200 VR
50mm + ext tubes ftw
people always pick the grossest things for macro photography.
>>159355i know im going to sound like an absolute faggot but can someone please explain to me in laymen terms what each of the numbers on camera lenses mean. i have a basic understanding of like focal length but i don't fully understand the like 28-70 2.8 and shitpardon my newfaggotry
>>159402sure28-70 2.8 means that the focal length zooms from 28mm (wide angle) to 70mm (zoomed) and that the maximum aperture is f/2.8 - which means that's the maximum size the aperture will go. this is good to know as a larger maximum aperture means the lens can be used in lower light conditions with the same shutter speed.another example is Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6. this lens zooms from 18mm to 135mm but due to the construction of the lens, the max. aperture gets smaller as you zoom in. it ranges from f/3.5 at the 18mm wide end to f/5.6 at the zoomed in 135mm end
>>159404thankyou
