[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 94840, member: 9503"] Thanks for helping me narrow down the field. Almost there. 1) On the FISHEYE, re the 10.5mm recommendation (Ref: [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/300487-USA/Nikon_2148_10_5mm_f_2_8G_ED_DX.html"]Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED DX Fisheye Nikkor Lens 2148 B&H Photo[/URL] ) I note this lens is AF-S/ED/DX but does not have VR. Not sure it it even avaiable in VR. I assume I need not be concerned given the fisheye is not exactly an 'action' lens. 2) on the MACRO, what disinguishes these two ( both same price):[INDENT]a) NIKON 60MM F2.8 MICRO D [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/545660-USA/Nikon_2177_AF_S_Micro_Nikkor_60mm_f_2_8G.html"]Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED Macro Autofocus Lens 2177[/URL] Minimum focussing distance - 8.66" (0.22 m b) NIKON MICRO 85MM F3.5 ED VR DX LENS [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/656971-USA/Nikon_2190_AF_S_DX_Micro_NIKKOR.html"]Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/3.5G ED VR Lens 2190 B&H Photo[/URL] Its AF-S/ED/DX/VR Minimum focussing distance - 11.25 " (0.286m) As with my other current/planned new lenses, dont I want AF-S/ED/DX/VR ? [/INDENT] 3) For my own reference , I note a basic 18-55mm lens also has a minimum focussing distance in the 11" ranges.. I had naively thought that close up macro lens would get me much closer. What obvious fact am I missing? [/QUOTE]
