What should I be aware of when buying a macro lens (other than that it will fit my camera)?
What features should I look for?
What specs should I pay close attention to?
What factors affect macro lens price (beyond than the brand name)?
Are there special accessories that are needed or recommended for a macro lens?
Answer
There are quite some different models on the market. Canon alone already has 5 different models I believe.
It depends what you want to photograph. If you can get very close to the subject a 50mm would be enough. If you need a bit more distance (e.g. animals/insects) the 200mm would be a better (but also more expensive) choice. There is also a special model (MP-E 65mm) that allows a variable magnification (1x-5x) but has no autofocus.
