I just got an S5II and I really want to take those super close up shots of flowers and bees in my garden here in Seattle but my kit lens just wont focus when I get close. I think I need a macro lens? I dont really know how they work or if I need an adapter for different brands. My budget is roughly $800 and I am super confused by all the options.
- easy for a beginner to understand
- good for tiny flower details
- not too heavy
Is there one specific lens that people usually start with for this? I dont want to buy the wrong thing and waste money...
