[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 351572, member: 24753"] Don't worry about focus distance as different focal lengths produce the same image size at different distances. The AF-S DX Micro 40, AF-S DX Micro 85 and AF-S Micro 105 all produce the same image size at the max reproduction ratio of 1:1. The main difference in these would be the working distance and the shift in DOF. The 105mm will allow you to work from a greater distance than the 85mm or 40mm. The 40mm will have more DOF behind the focal point than the 85mm or 105mm at the same subject size. The effect is practically imperceptible at macro focus distances, but is there. Each of the lenses can also be used for other than close-up. The 40mm is a good near normal perspective lens, while the 85mm and 105mm work well for head shot portraits. [/QUOTE]
