    What kind or brand of macro/micro lens do you have? I’m looking into buying one but would like to find an “affordable” one. I have a Canon 50mm, not sure if it’s considered a macro lens or not. I want to photograph bugs and flowers.

    If still looking around find some forums that cater to canon.
    ie: https://www.canonforums.com/

    I belong to NikonCafe and get a LOT of good info there.

    Check out KEH, they are a very reputable used/new retailer located in Georgia.

    Their used ratings are very accurate, they back their sales, and they are pretty fair priced.

    You'd want to get something like the 100mm macro.

    This would allow you to photograph flowers/insects, etc.

    Rad. You will love the lens. Keep in mind you can use it for other things - small toys, peoples eyes, just explore the possibilities.
