<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Since macro lenses are too expensive, a good alternative will be using an extension tube in between your camera body and your lens.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>This tube extends the distance of your lens to the camera sensor. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Macro lens ~$700</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>extension tube ~$10</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>savings ~$690</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>But using extension tubes also bring challenges for a macro enthusiast. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You will lose light, and you need to shoot manually all the way. It is good to shoot on a sunny day to compensate the light lost.</b></span></div>
