Hi Stefan

For anyone wanting to get into the world of macro photography, I would look at the more traditional macro lenses, such as the Canon 100mm F2.8 and the Tamron 90mm F2.8 that Stephen Mudge uses. They will provide years of fun and exploration and have auto focus and can be used as normal lenses for portraits, etc.

The MPE-65 is a highly specialised macro lens and is manual focus only. The closest focusing distance is approx. 10cms so it is useless for anything else.

Cheers

Dennis
