what kind of lenses works best for macro?
>> NatureGuy !se3A3TwzdY

They will be specifically made as macro lenses, primes almost always.

Look for a zoom ratio of 1:1.

Confusingly Nikon calls them Micro lenses.

You can get some surprisingly good macro shots with a P&S. Can be a good way to get started on it, the lenses for it are not cheap, although you could try magnifiers on astandard lens. Apparently compacts can have a better DOF than SLRs for macro work. I have been getting some OK results with a AU $100 Canon Powershot A470 - shame about all the noise though!

Sorry if that was a bit unclear, "the lenses for it are not cheap" means the lenses for an SLR, you wont need anything exttra for a compact / P&S
