Manual focus is usually best for macro, as even the slightest error in focus (or the camera deciding to focus on something beside you want) can be the difference between a great shot and something that winds up on the "cutting room floor". They can be had used on Fleabay for very reasonable prices. If you want so to save even a little more money you can go with a 55mm f/3.5 AI Micro Nikkor, which is a half stop slower but still a superb lens. The f/2.8 is also an outstanding "normal" lens if you don't need a fast lens.Reversed, it also works superbly on a bellows.</blockquote>
