Any ideas or have I made a big mistake in going for a more budget lens to do 2 jobs instead of investing in a more specialised one?

Hi lisa did you buy the lens thinking you would get very close macros ?
alot of the so called macro lenses are not true 1x macros so you cannot get amazingly close and will not get the very large close ups that you would get with a 100mm or a 180mm, your focal distance needs to match your lens as the last post states, if you want to get in closer you could add close up filters that will help!
