Can anyone suggest some good filters for use in macro situations?
My setup is: Canon 35-135 f/3.5-5.6. This lens isn't a macro, but I bought some Hoya filters for AUD$90 (about USD$50). These are +1, +2, and +4.
With all 3 on, they allow me to get as close as 7cm away from my subject, and considering that's at 135mm, or 216mm for my 10D, that's some (almost)extreme macro action! Also, these filters cut my DOF down to tiny ranges. Something like ONE CM across the face of a rose!
Anyways, I'm looking into new filters. Suggestions?

I already have the same effect with the Macro filters. They're basically another few lens elements on the front of my lens. |

I'm talking about other filters that go well with macro shots.
[effects filters, and so on.] |
