Otherwise 50-60mm macro lenses from Canon/Tokina/Sigma are quite affordable. One think to look for in cheap Canon camera is a center contact in the host shoe if you want to control plain flashes, otherwise you'll have to fork for the more expensive Canon-compatible equipment. But you can also use continuous lighting. | |

I only ask because googling for photography things is insufferable with "blog spam" just touting "9 BEST ____!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Its hard to find actual solid recommendations that arent just affiliate links | |
