[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 105663, member: 16"] hehehe...."photography" and "budget" don't necessarily go in the same sentence when it comes to photography equipment. :) However, good deals can be had on EBay or Craigslist.....even in the used section of your favourite camera shop. For a really good macro lens for starting out, you might like to try the Nikon 85mm Micro lens. Another good lens to consider is the 105 macro lens. Others here will most likely chime in with their favourite macro lens suggestions. :) Here's a tip: anything that lives or is likely to move, you'd want a longer lens to stay farther away from the subject (bug, ant, butterfly, etc) Anything that is static/stationary, you can get away with a closer lens, such as the 85 macro lens. Just something to think about. :) By the way......everyone's idea of a budget is vastly different. For example, take mine for instance.......it's $0.00 :) LOL :) [/QUOTE]
