hi,

i am not sure if this is the correct section to post in (i am not aloud in macro section yet).

I have a 30D and a canon 60 mm lens. I am wanting to take macro shoots like this:

but i know that with my 60 mm - i can't get that kind of 'look' - i find i have to get very close to the subject to the point that it is really hard to focus manually or auto focus doesn't really work that good (no surprise there).

do you think i should change my lens to perhaps a 100 mm?

I have done a bit of reading and some people say to use kenko extention tubes or go for a macro filter rather than changing/upgrading my lens.

Umm not really sure what do do here - so any tips or suggestions would be great!
