‘I love my Sigma 105mm DG Macro HSM. It allows me to get close to subjects without disturbing them. I find the quality of output is excellent and it’s very affordable. It’s never let me down and it rarely leaves my camera during the damselfly season. It also gives me the opportunity to photograph detail and get creative indoors when the weather is unfavourable. On a final note I’ve also managed to capture portraits of my dog with this lens with good results. A must-have lens in everyone’s kit.’

‘I find the Raynox 250 clip-on adapter brilliant for taking macro shots “on the fly” (no pun intended!) without having to keep changing lenses – and it’s also relatively cheap, but still creates great-quality images. I always recommend the Raynox to my photography tuition clients who are interested in getting into macro for the first time, without the upfront investment in a dedicated macro lens. All of these images were shot using the Raynox 250 clip-on adapter, Lumix G9 and 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 Mark II lens.’
