Camera help please.

[ainterne]

Hi, I have a SL1 EOS100D Canon. I have made a light box following instructions on this site, however I need to take closer shots of the pen. How can I get the camera to to take macro shots?

Would I be right in thinking that its as simple as acquiring one of these?

Or do I need to purchase a full lens?

I only want to do this occasionally and looking for a non expensive solution. (I prefer to spend my money on pens:-) )......


In these for example, I want to get much closer on the writing around the cap. Any suggestions please?


Thanks in advance for any help offered.....
