she is currently using a 18mm-55mm for everything and she is looking at 105mm macro.
Any help would be great.
cheers, Dave

Flies, lures, insects, details on fish.
The world of macro can be fascinating.
Watch out for the crop factor. Saw a guy with a good quality 100mm Canon macro lens on a eos5d. Fabulous photos, he did some good portraits with that lens. But it was a full frame camera
There was a guy on here a while back doing macro with manual extension tubes and a 50mm lens, cheap and easy - but lose auto focus and control of the aperture through the camera. He also had a neat filter ring that meant you mount the lens on the camera back to front, which makes any lens into a macro. Once again no autofocus or macro control. He had some neat stuff, but a specialist lens will be easier.
