my poor gear is only the 12-50 kit lens, which has a really nice feature called "Macro" - This button set lens in a really nice close up mode, but not in 1:1 macro. Of course it can be improved by adding a sort of Raynox type lens, stacking or other magnifier gear, but I like it how it comes and I love paly with it. Here's my tiny spidey.

Hi Mugur Mugur , the middle one, really came very nice photo. I would still recommend to look into proper macro lens to achieve that 1:1 ratio.

I agree to Jack Jack. But another option might be a retro reverse adapter to bring your lens in reverse position:

Such solutions are for sure cheaper than a new macro lens and should provide great results! Another option might be extension tubes or Raynox lenses.
