“How can I realise greater than life-size macro shots with an EOS 80D and Tamron 1:1 macro lens for minimal outlay?”
David Warriner, Hemel Hempstead
Macro photos larger than life-size are the realm of the specialist lens or some add-ons to yourlenses. You can add a Canon close-up lens (looks like a filter) to your current macro lens which acts like a magnifying glass and attaches to the lens filter thread, but as they are optical elements they can be pricey. Another choice is to use an extension tube, this moves the lens away from the sensor and so allows it to focus closer but at the expense of being able to focus on infinity. Extension tubes are generally inexpensive and a 25mm tube should give your 90mm
