:) A good macro lens isn't terribly expensive, surprisingly.

Yes, I've just been working with a iphone 6s and disposables. Looking to get a good Canon and will look into that Tamron macro lens you mentioned because that is a sweet deal. Thanks for mentioning it in your post, cheers.

If it's more within your budget, the previous Tamron 90mm macros can be had even cheaper used, maybe new? Look for the 172E model. They don't have some certain coating on the back that helps with the more reflective digital sensors, but if it's a lot cheaper and you're on a tight budget, who cares! The images should be just as good.

Right on, thanks @pfunk!
