Canon 500D or Macro Lens
On a recent post I received a question over how the Canon 500D diopter compares with a true macro lens. When I first bought my camera, I knew I wanted to do macro but I didn’t have the money for a true macro lens. I wound up purchasing the Sigma 80-400 4.5-5.6 OS lens along with the 500D diopter. I quickly fell in love with macro photography and saved up for a true macro lens and once I had one I eventually sold the 500D. The following is a shot I took with the 500D when visiting the zoo with my kids.
However, let’s get more specific on the differences between a diopter and a true macro lens.
