<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1278739, member: 24091"]I went pretty cheap on that too. $285 for the cheapest macro Canon makes. 50mm and without the IS feature, but for my purposes it seems adaquate. I probably would have stuck with the macro setting on the camera, but in their infinite wisdom, they designed it so the LCD screen preview can only be used in the manual settings. If I use the automatic settings, --and macro is one of the automatics-- then I am forced to use the eyepiece to focus. Not sure if its like that on a Nikon SLR, but its one of the more irritating things about the T1i. The bigger problem being getting dandruf etc on coins from being hunched over the camera to focus. Only way around that is to buy a macro lens and then use the manual settings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
