[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 120561, member: 12977"] I've been researching this very thing and the one suggestion that came up frequently was to a longer lens to give you more working distance. Shorter macros require being closer to the subject which can scare living things and block light. The 105 would be great on a DX but for FX I suggest something longer. The one lens that seems to be universally praised is the Sigma 150 macro. It's the one I'm going to buy when I upgrade to the D800.
