Re: Which 'macro lens' advise

It also has the advantage of being a pretty decent 150mm telephoto lens at the same time , which does come in handy. I have no experience of other mac...

canon 500 close-up lens
hello everybody,
Can I have a quick sound off from people about the canon 500 close-up lens please? I have the chance to buy one from a collegue very cheaply but am not sure it is best to save the ££ for my sigma macro.
thanks
