Hi Guys,
I have a Nikon D5000 which I have had for a number of years, I've experimented with Macro with my Tamron 70-300 Tele-Macro Lens, but recently I've decided to try and get something maybe more specialised. Mainly I like to take photos of insects and other tiny things, my current Tamron is good, but just not that good, and when it comes to Telephoto I tend to use that for small birds, which are hard to get close to since they are so skittish.
So I am wondering if you have any advice for me on what would be best? at the moment I'm not really prepared to spend over $1000 per lens, but I expect with the age of my camera buying something more than that would be pointless any way. A guy at a Camera store recommended a Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM for my Telephoto work, and I can get that for around $900, I'd like to know what you guys think of that.
I don't have a clue when it comes to Macro lenses though.
