I have been wanting to get into macro photography and now that I have to "take it easy" and stay off my feet for a while I have the time to do it. I am looking for beginner level advice for getting macro shots around the house and garden of various subjects including flowers and insects. I have a Fuji XT3 with 16mm F2.8 and 50mm F2 lenses. The macro-extension-x-global.pdf on the Fuji website shows the MCEX-11 gives 0.84/0.40 magnification for the 16mm/50mm while the MCEX-16 gives 1.16/0.51. Would the MCEX-11 be a better/more forgiving choice for a beginner? Also any advice on reasonably priced flashguns for macro? Sorry if there is already advice within the thread regarding this but I have only just started reading it, a link would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, I hope the list below answers your question. I'm assuming that MFD="Shortest shooting distance" The PDF is at https://dl.fujifilm-x.com/global/products/accessories/mcex/pdf/macro-extension-x-global.pdf
Could you recommend any particular flash model (godox or otherwise) at around the £100 mark? The Godox MF12 is around that price, any good?

jarlywarly posted:MFD is distance from sensor to subject The pdf only has the following three headings per extension tube. Max.Magnification Working distance(mm) Shortest shooting distance(mm) So would that last one be the MFD?

jarlywarly posted:A Godox TT350 is a good start I like the look of this flash and it's a good price for me, thanks. jarlywarly posted:Shorter focal lengths are generally harder to use because you have to get closer to the subject. So would you recommend the MCEX-16 with the 50mm for someone starting out over the MCEX-11 and the 16mm?
