I hope the title of this is self explanatory. Having spent the last day or so trawling through some of this forum's macro insect photography (lots of which is astounding), I often wondered how much people had to spend to get those results, so thought I'd ask to see how well some of you guys can do using equipment totalling <£300 (obviously not including things considered the basic essentials to photography in general, such as the camera body + standard flash/diffuser + tripod. Obviously a lens is essential, but I'm ruling that out here).
For example, I have a canon 50mm 1.8 II (~£75), was looking into some kenko tubes (~£100-130). And then maybe adding a ring flash on, would probably take me up to the £300 budget.
Someone might have a macro lens bought for <£300 that blows the combinations out of the water.
Hopefully some of you have the equipment necessary to try something like this lying around, and might like the challenge...?
