[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 653880, member: 10447"] This really depends on what sort of macro you are doing and what your subjects are. Are you doing handheld live bugs, dead bugs using a tripod and controlled lighting indoors, close ups of flowers or dragonflies etc ? Different lenses will be suited different subjects. Nearly all current and a lot of older macro lenses are excellent lenses, very sharp etc. my favourite macro lens for handheld bugs and spiders is my Nikon AF55mm f2.8 D. It suits my style, or maybe I have adapted my style to suit this lens, regardless, it's excellent for what I do. It beats my Nikon 105 f2.8 VR which costs about 6 times as much. To give you a proper answer, you need to give us some more information about what you are hoping to achieve with it, and how much you want to spend. [/QUOTE]
