i have a D90 and it would be handy if it fitted it

Dot dot, I have not a clue.
I need a to take around 500 pics of various small things, 10mm to around 50mm high res to put in a catalogue, and my only lens isn't very good at small things, so thought macro maybe the way?

Nikon Macro Lens, by papilio on Nov 27, 2012 19:34:00 GMT 1, If the small things you want to photograph move (butterflies, insects etc.) or you need extra lighting, you might be better off with a long lens, that is not necessarily micro. If you go with a 300mm, you can stay pretty far away from the subject, and still get good shots. Remember that the shorter the lens, the closer you have to get, and this might screw up lights, scare small movable stuff away.

Got a bit of Canon L glass for sale BNIB full warranty
Manty if you can get adaptors for minolta a mount then I could loan you a sweet sigma macro

I'm using is a 35mm f/1.8 Nikon lens when taking pictures of art. The lens cost $200, the 35mm f/1.4 is about $1800..
And yes, use a tripod and have a lot of light, ideally two light sources placed at about 45 degree angle of the center.
If you don't have a lot of light and have to use long exposure (1/60 or slower) to get enough light in, use the timer on the camera (or a remote). This way it will stay completely still while taking the picture.

Nikon Macro Lens, by manty on Nov 29, 2012 22:17:43 GMT 1, Thanks for the info, and CG thanks for the offer
I have recently discovered gumtree and got myself a lovely 105mm sigma macro at a great price. A new toy to play with :-) takes much better pics than the generic 18-105 that came with the camera
