[QUOTE="hark, post: 723816, member: 13196"] If you are shooting on a tripod - whether at home or subjects such as flowers, the body should still give you focus confirmation inside the viewfinder even though AF isn't supported. If you are trying to capture something moving like Mike's insect, then you would have more trouble. When I shoot flowers, quite often I use a tripod and a macro rail (a rail will allow you to move the body/lens combo forward, backward, and sideways to fine tune your focus point). And I use Live View along with manual focus. Your other option would be to look for a Tamron 90mm macro lens. It looks like there are a couple of different models - unfortunately I don't know the differences. But several members have that lens. It costs less than the Nikon lens. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
