First an admission - Other than the stimulation of my interest in this topic by watching a couple of YouTube videos, I know nothing about it.
I've been give a Canon 350D camera body with no lens or memory card, and a couple of flat batteries. I bought a charger and a spare battery, and the camera appears to be working, and I'm waiting for a memory card and a couple of test lenses that I bought on Ebay to test the system. I want to use this system to experiment with reverse lens macro photography when I have confirmed that it is fully operational. I'd be grateful for some tips before I start buying the relevant extra equipment. I'm contemplating adapters than includes limited focusing controls, a remote flash, and some lens hoods. I will also need to look for a suitable lens, as my test lens may not be the most suitable. I'm not sure what I will choose as subject matter, but it could include insects and cooking ( not both together though ). So far my total investment is less than £50, and I posted details in my introduction thread on the welcome board. I'm hoping that this will be a budget project, and that I can make or adapt much of the equipment until I understand a bit more about the techniques.
