[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 389028, member: 24753"] A macro lens for the chosen subject will depend on your setup, working room and lighting. The different focal length lenses will have different close focus distances. You want to choose a lens that gives the focus distance you want to use. Using 4 of Nikon's macros for examples. Other brands will be similar. (The meters provide a finer measurement to see the different therein 55mm and 85mm) Note the 55mm and 105mm are FX [ATTACH=CONFIG]128069._xfImport[/ATTACH] Once you choose the working distance, I suggest figuring out the lighting before procuring the lens, just in case teh way you want/need to light the subject doesn't work with the lens. Example: focusing real close with a 40mm may block you chosen light source. There is also FX or DX to consider. Either format will perform the same as far as minimum focus distance and will have the same field of view on a DX camera. Might consider FX if planning to switch formats or add an FX body down the road. [/QUOTE]
