Macro Lens for Canon


Does anyone have a recommendation for a macro lens I can use for my Canon PowerShot A95? Nothing too expensive, but something that will get the job done. Thanks!

  What job do you want done?
The macro mode included in the A95 allows close enough focus (from 2" to 9.8" away) to fill the frame with a subject that is 1.7" x 2.2" using wide-angle, and 2.4" x 3.6" at the tele-end.

Greater magnification can be achieved by getting even closer focus with the Canon 250D close up lens, or by increasing the A95's zoom lens focal length with Canon's 1.75x teleconverter (TC-DC52A). Either will require the lens adapter tube, LA-DC52A. See pp. 135-138 of the A95's user guide.

  Thanks!
The macro setting on the camera isnt close enough for me. That's the only reason I wanted a macro lens. Just to take close ups of flowers, or plants or anything along those lines. I like how people on here get so up close to flowers and it looks so good.
