Hi Folks - looking for a bit of advise if possible!
I have a commercial job next month photographing bank notes and other printed products that incorporate various security and anti-counterfieting measures. Some of the individual features are very small (2mm across) and the client wants close-ups of these features.
I've never dabbled in macro photography before, but I seem to remember that there are three options - a proper macro lens, a reversing ring and screw-on macro filter.
Bearing in mind I'll only be using this kit for this one day, which would be most suitable for the job? I'd hire a lens rather than buy one if that were the best option...
Also, would a cheap ringflash be useful?
Lenses I currently have are; Sigma 18-200, Sigma 18-50 2.8 macro, Tamron 28-75 2.8, Nikon 50 1.8.
