Would this be any good for Macro photography?

I use these studio lights exclusively for close-up photography. Anything you can put on a table and take pictures from 1 to 2 feet away. The quality of your pictures will depend upon the camera used. Mine takes three exposures then combines them into one. I also use the camera on a tripod because shutter speeds tend to be slow. I have upgraded to 60-watt flurescent bulbs for more light. These bulbs are a little too large for the reflectors but they work ok.

I believe it would be. I am a lawyer and use it for shooting prescription medicine bottles. I think I could get better results with a third lamp pointed down from the top but I use a tripod and get very good results just with the two lamps that are included.

absolutely yes - they're daylight balanced, and burn cool - one of the best bargains out there

Hi there... I have this lens, and love it, for its total flexibility - it is a perfect traveller's lens. It is not exactly a "macro" lens, though I have used it with success to make some close-ups. If you then buy a close-up set (1+2+3), I am sure it can handle many of your macro needs - though you should bear in mind that that is not what it was designed for, nor is it a lens with low aperture readings - i.e. - it will be darker than your average macro lens.

As a new enthusiast, I wanted to respond to you quickly. So my initial response is to tell you that this tube works fairly well... but I only tested it on my D300 with a 24~70 lens(2.8).However, I will test it with my D40 this week when it returns from a friend...But my IMMEDIATE advise to you is to take the time to FOCUS MANUALLY and use a tripod to obtain the best results for "macro" photography although the claim is to work with auto-focus lens.

You can do macro like shots that will look good, but will need a real Macro lens for true 1:1 Macro images.

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

Yes and no. If you want to photograph a field of wildflowers then it would work fine because you could get fairly close, 0.82 ft. is minimum focus distance. But for macro photography of a single blossom it would not be the best lens to work with. You would need a true macro lens.

Hello Michael, The macro function on this camera is a nice feature. I have used this on floral pics. And other christmas decorations. I find you may like it for the price.

This is really good for portraits and macro. I think it will give you a very good performance in museums.

I don't think you would. My point-and-shoot Canon takes great close-up photos in macro mode. I need one of these, however, for my DSLR camera, where you would attach a macro lens for close-up pics.

Get somefink else... This camera takes good general pictures, remember it's pretty cheap! A bridge camera would be good for macro.

Yes, it works just fine. The folks who dinged it in reviews didn't read the product description carefully. You'll need to use manual focus, and your FD lens won't focus to infinity. On the other hand, you're not introducing another optical element of questionable quality. Use it for macro.

Yes but for close up shots of a coin I recommend a macro lens which are around the same price.

I've found this lens to be very sharp, very light, and am very happy with it. Do remember that on the APS-C this is a "normal" lens. If that fits your variety of uses, then it should be just fine. With the bonus of macro.

It has both macro and super macro settings, and I think it works great, especially for this price range. Flowers? No problem. Bugs? Might be more of a problem, unless you can get them to pose for you! I often take close-up photos of toy cars, and most of the time it shows more detail in the photo than I ever see when I examine them, even with my glasses on!

Lila - Yes, this macro lens is great for small objects just realize that you have to be close to get the subject and be very still. My wife uses this lens when she is taking pictures of flowers and has caught several bees in the pictures and the detail is impressive. She is a beginning photographer but has produced some great shots with this macro lens.Good Luck!
