ROF Obviously you were writing figuratively when you used the words "just between you and me" My apologies. In future I will use the word "fallacious" instead of "spurious" in such a context.

You can also add a bellows setup down the line. I got replaced mine with the exact one I sold several years ago for under $50.00 add a couple $10-$20 enlarger lenses and an adapter $10 you will have one heck of a macro set-up. This can all be added later after the initial camera purchase, if you find it to your liking. My most used lens is the Canon EF100mm F/2.8 macro (I have the older model with no IS) used they run from $400-500 it is USM autofocus, and will work on any EOS camera body, film or digital. Again not something you would need right away, but later if your interest continues to grow in the photography arena. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

CherreePicker Valued Member 440 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 06:25 am westcoin I already have a bellows setup for coins. I was looking for a camera for wildlife photography. "You can always get a 50mm lens for the Canon put on some extension tubes to increase magnification" Could this be used for that application; assuming this would be manual focus only?

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 9:51 pm CP...the 50mm lens on extensions won't do anything for your wildlife photography. I'll stick with my (and SD's) recommendation of the 55-250 as a good starting lens for your purposes.

Veiled apologies are a pet peeve of mine! My comments were neither fallacious nor spurious, but I can understand how you could make that mistake since you were not aware that the OP already has a quality studio setup that utilizes a DSLR.
