In this episode of Ask David, I answer the question 'what lens is best for macros?' This episode looks at lens options for two major types of macros: insects and other subjects you're looking for and flat-field reproduction such as with stamps and coins. This episode also discusses a cheap way to make a usable, versatile macro rig that's capable of taking exceptional images.
