Just a quick suggestion to those getting started shooting in large and
close...

Don't jump to the conclusion that you need to immediately purchase an
expensive macro lens. A set of (auto) extention tubes and/or a reversing
adapter will get you started with amazing results, and although macro
lenses are typically better corrected for close work and may favour
resolution over contrst, you may never see the difference and/or may
prefer your standard lens.

I picked up a like-new auto extension tube set for Canon FD a couple of
years ago for $45 on rec.photo.marketplace, and reversing adapters are
available new from B&H for around $15...
