Raynox, Reversing Ring or Magnifying Filters?

[Hippo_MC]

Want to have a dabble with Macro photography, but don't have the funds at the moment for a dedicated Macro lens. Looking for advice and pros and cons of using the 3 different approaches in the title?

TIA

Have a read through here, there is some sound advice from the macro guru's

I've bought some close-up filters and, whilst good fun, they arent that great when it comes to sharpness. But they were under a tenner from the Bay of E, so one mustn't grumble. They are good for the money, and good fun to play with. The cheapest option by far, but you get what you pay for.

i'd say reversing ring out of your selection but consider some extension tubes they can be quite cheap if you don't want full af control (which frankly with macro isn't an issue)
