[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 285617, member: 13076"] You could still use a manual Nikkor. And if you get an FX lens you would just be focusing it manually as well. But, for macro work, don't you manually focus anyway? You have plenty of time and the focus is usually so critical that you end up having to override the autofocus anyway, I would think? I did macro photography of flowers many moons ago with a Minolta system with a bellows and reversed 50mm lens. I mean, the Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 AI lens is a legend and still sold new to this day by Nikon and there are great deals on Ebay for both it and the f3.5.[URL="http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Nikon-Micro-Nikkor-55-mm-F-3-5-Ai-Lens-/101761367"] [/URL] EDIT: I just bought the 55mm f2.8 AIS version, I think it is that good. :cool: [/QUOTE]
