    For marco work, unless it comes with a Marco Lense you will have to purchase a lense or extention tubes. I didn't start doing a lot of marco work until I got a digital.

    The focal lengths most used are 28mm for wide angle and 200mm. for telephoto and for speed I would go for 2.8 at least. Some zoom lens also shoot macro as well. The diopters +1,+2 and +3 which fit over a lens like filters are a good cheap way to get into macro photography without buying an extra macro lens. A close up diopter or combination of more than one on the end of a lens at 200mm can be extremely effective and bring things in extremely close. A powerful flash that uses a rechargeable battery pack would also be useful.

    If you are seriously considering moving to digital later, you might want to consider how much to spend on a film camera at this point.
