Amin, I am well practised in the economy of words. I prefer not to use a dozen when one will do.

That's silly money. You'd pay that and more for the caps alone.

Your SMCP-A 50mm 1:1.7 might give better results with a reversing ring. With practice, I've seen some really stunning images. None of them mine unfortunately

Simples. Sell the 50-135mm unless you need the 1:2.8, and get both. You will not be disappointed by either of them.

It's not an ideal lens for macro but it should give acceptable results with extension tubes.
The 50mm length means you'll have to get very close to bugs, but flowers should be OK.
By far the better option is a dedicated macro lens like the D-FA 100mm or older F/FA versions.

I've noticed that those members who have reported receiving spam messages are themselves newly registered users. Is it possible that they are all actually the same person ? ? ?

A photographers grey card or Expodisc takes the guesswork out of setting WB. Shoot RAW, take a sample shot of the grey card in the available light, then forget about WB, adjust all of your images in the comfort of your home/office.What I've also realised is I can't trust the camera's AWB setting and had to flick through the white balance settings till I found one that was pleasing.
