Haven’t tried the poster tack, but for static subjects (flowers), I just hold the aperture lever open with my finger to allow enough light to focus, then let it go back to fully closed (f32) to shoot, which gives max depth of field. How else to get into macro for $8?!

You might find one on eBay or in a second-hand camera store. Otherwise, just be careful!

A prime lens is a ‘safer’ option, as while the glass is still unprotected, the lack of a zoom means you can’t get dust etc in the lens mechanisms.

Be sure to open it fully and hold it open while you press the shutter button
