Im so happy with my new camera, with the manual focus..I have made some good images with allright macro,

but still want more..im wanting something to focus in close, possibly extension tubes or cheap lens, I really not wanting to spend more than £100, so could you suggest a extension tube to purchase..

Thanks,dave0493

I got the jessops ones for pretty cheap, and they work really well! I think there is a discount code if you buy/reserve online to get them even cheaper! I think I paid £20

Thanks yes i did,

I didnt like how the D60 doesnt have live view:(

and in then shop i was told the Canon 400D doesnt have live view..

so i put all my money in and splashed out on the 450D :D

well worth it

Thanks,dave0493

My dad gave me some lens addons/filters.. must have been a set.. one is a macro lens, and then a +1, +2 +4 (giving options +1 thru +7) for zooming, sure you can pick up a set like that for not much?

welcome to the 450D world.

I love my camera, and made the right choice, as i held other SLR's and they were heavy for me.

Yes, standard 18-55mm

thats why i wanna..buy some extenstion tubes, or simular to make small objects and writing stand out more :D

But yes i am loving it, glad i decided to get it instead of the 400D as the 400D doesnt have live view.

Thanks,dave0493

Okay this is a +1, +2, +4 all attached.. cropped at 100% so the lenses for the money are great. The depth of field is really low but you can play with the distance of the camera to change it to an extent.
