My AI 105mm micro cost me about $200 and it's all manual. If your not use to full manual lenses, I'd recommend saving for a bit, and buying a newer macro. My macro requires me to put my Nikon in manual mode, and you'll have to do the iso,shutter speed,and aperture settings manually. Also to get 1:1 ratio using AI macro lenses you'll need the right length extension tube to go with the macro you choose, to compensate, and that makes focusing harder. So a newer macro lens may be worth waiting for, while saving up some money. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
