[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 703704, member: 46690"] I purchased my Nikon because my wife needed high quality macro shots of her products for inclusion in magazines, catalogs, and sales sheets, and neither her phone nor her little point-n-hope were cutting it. Because we were (are) on a budget, I got a used D3300 body, a used Nikkor 40mm micro lens, and an inexpensive light tent, table tripod, and a few other gadgets to get her up to speed. The setup has worked very well for the last year or so, but there have been times where I wish I had a longer focal length lens so I could pull the camera body back a bit. The Nikkor 105mm Micro is really well out of reach at the moment, even used, so I'm looking to either pop one of my longer lenses on an extension tube (or 3), or try a reverse mount ring. Does anyone have an opinion as to which produces better results? Any concerns about either one extant of actual picture quality? Neither option is particularly expensive, so whichever one produces the best photo - if indeed there is a clear winner - is the one I'll go for. Thanks very much! [/QUOTE]
