[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 556872, member: 40735"] I finally AI'd my recently-acquired 55 f3.5 Micro Nikkor-P.C so I can venture into the world of macrophotography on my D7100! Until now, I've dabbled very minimally with macrophotography, mainly handheld close-ups with my 18-55 VRII on my D3300, and even briefer dabbling with manual 28F3.5 reverse mounted (with tape!) on a manual 200 F4 Q. My main interest for now is handheld backyard photography of small insects and flowers. Was looking for input from fellow Nikonites on the following: [LIST] [*]Resources for beginners in macrophotography - basic do's and don'ts. (If that's too vague, you can instead critique the attached dragonfly pic that I took with the 55 f3.5 Micro on my D3300). [*]Pros / cons of my intended kit: D7100 with 55 f3.5 Micro Nikkor-P.C. I plan to use it with the PK-13 extension tube, and, if needed, with a modified TC-16A teleconverter for added reach and pseudo-AF. [*]Whether other lenses in my kit (listed in my signature) could be used for my intended use, either individually, combined, and with / without the PK-13. [*]What other equipment (lenses / tubes / etc.) I should consider buying if this hobby takes off. [/LIST] Thanks!
