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
Martin

I have the 500D and it's the perfect accessory for my little camera which is the Canon S3. It works best with superzoom cameras, particularly those that will focus quite closely at the telephoto end which the S3 does.
In good light I can get first class shots as the quality of the 500D is excellent.
If your camera is a typical 3x or 4x compact then look elsewhere for something more powerful like the Raynox DCR-250.
However, if you're looking to get, or already have a dSLR then save your cash for that as you'll have a lot more flexibility with iso settings, and a proper macro lens will be better as well.
