Also, out of curiousity... does anyone know if those 'macro' caps even work?
-
So I'm lucky enough to have around £200 soon for some new camera kit. My bag at present consists of:
- Nikon D5200
- 18-55 kit lense
- 55-200 telephoto
- 35mm f1.8 prime
- IR remote
I'm thinking of either a speedlight (the Nikon SB 700) or a macro lense, now this is where I am stuck. I have never used macro before so have no idea what to look for. Would anyone have any recommendations on a macro lense (compatible with my camera) for under £200?

I'm really liking it so far!
I signed up to three forums and this is the only one I have been back to

I would like your comments but I've reached my limit lol
Thanks ChrisLumix, I just hope I can keep homing my skills and learning which I'm sure I can.
FUJI I have a cat photo I can share and will do in this thread in a mo
CanonChrissy, sorry for hijacking your other thread on heading out with a single lense

One thing about inheriting things... More things to photograph!

I inherited this shire, I was in Buckinghamshire until 6 weeks ago :)

One of these, it's actually surprisingly comfortable too and encourages me to take the camera with me
-
I sometimes head out with only my 35mm, like you I miss my other lenses (mainly my 55-200) but I do like not worrying about carrying that extra lense. I have a camera belt bag thing that holds the cera with lense attached, spare battery and not a lot else (it is water proof though)

Count me in on the clothing one... Time to get my thinking cap on ;)

Thanks Ron

I do like this idea, may have to enter the next one ;)
-
I think I shall be doing the same

I have to agree that you can get some pretty amazing photos without paying top premiums. As mentioned by Korky a phones camera is enough for some pretty fantastic photos!

Thanks everyone

Hey everyone,
I've spent a little time today trying to find a photography forum which is small and friendly and I hope this is it.... anyway, on with my introduction.
Once upon a time in a land far far away.....
My name is Dave Perkins and I got into photography taking pictures of my Siberian Husky, Kodi. I live in Northamptonshire and as everyone else, I'm always learning. I'm going to explore the forum a little and you should see some of my pictures and posts popping up soon!
These are a couple of the pictures, taken on my phone of Kodi, that really made me decide to invest in a DSLR (Nikon D5200 was the choice)
I fell I have developed my skills since then and now use a lot less vignetting lol. Here are a couple of my more recent pictures

I took your wording of "thinking caps on" quite literally lol
