Believe it or not, there are two ways to do close ups that might be cheaper than investing in a specific expensive lens.

The first are extension tubes, if the camera you wish to use is a SLR type.

The second, to me, is a lot of fun. An Achromatic lens, fastened to the front of the camera lens shortens the field and depending on the strength of the lens, can et down to fractions of an inch. Of course, at this level, gettting proper lighting becomes the challenge. I recommend a lens with a focal length of about 12".

Have fun!! Be creative!!
