[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 173478, member: 15426"] Hey Texaslimo, The best macro lens, if I don't know your budget, is gonna be… A better practice and strategy is to go for longer lenses, 85 to 105mm and more. For the simple reason that, for a given frame, you will keep the subject at a longer distance from the lens than say 55 to 60 mm macro lens will. In certain situation, in the open, this distance will help you compose better frames where you will not throw your own shadow in the picture. In studio, it will allow more room for light sources, reflectors, and what not. For you, planning to work on a DX format (16MP) the 105mm lens will offer even more benefits in these directions, Have a good day… [/QUOTE]
