Close-Up and Macro Photography

And so, in recommending lenses to you, I am afraid I can only
seriously recommend one of the APO lenses, but I also know that
you may be unwilling or unable to take that leap, which is why I
point out the two easy-to-afford macro/close-up lenses listed above.
They work, just not as well. And later in this book I will detail a
number of lenses that can be used for close-up or macro work,
most of which are not APO lenses, but are of course quite workable
for anyone but me. I no longer use them. The ones I do use are très
expensive. I wish they weren’t. Here are my top three, most-used,
lenses.
