Can you possibly borrow, or even rent, a good set of extension tubes, and a reversing ring, to see if they'll work for you?
Good luck with your photos.

Totally agree, an extension tube set is the way to go. Will work with getting closer shots. I use them for wedding ring and cake decoration shots with my 50 1.8 and get super sharp results. Make sure you get a set that has an autofocus confirm chip and will operate EF lenses. Some only work with EF-S lenses.

Great idea, but sadly those in my immediate circle use macros. I do have a newborn photog friend out of town who is going to try the reversing ring and let me know how it works for. So while she is ordering hers, I am tapping the Hogs for their experiences. ;-)

Thank you so much for your suggestion here. This is certainly worth considering. I am a total newbie to the macro world and appreciate you helping me "see" the difference between close up and macro. You have me thinking..... ;-)
