I’m interested in doing macro photography with my Nikon D5100. But do I need an actual lens or the macro extenders I see on Amazon? I’m also looking for a tripod. And finally, I’d like to carry the Nikon with me. A backpack is useful if I don’t need to access the camera easily but is there anything that carries the camera so I can get at it for a quick shot?
Any suggestions? All help is appreciated!!
