[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 149736, member: 11881"] I would like to get a macro lens for shooting insects and secondary small flowers and such. I am looking at the AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G for my D5100. My question, and I apologize if I explain this poorly as I am venturing into new territory. Bug is 1/4" (.63 cm) in length or smaller. Of course we want to do a pretty good job filling that bug in our frame. How close do I need to get? Ideally not too close as to disturb the bug, but still being able to fill the bug in the frame. Is this lens going to allow me to be back a few feet to fill the frame or how close can I expect that I would need to be? I've looked at a lot of great pictures but they don't tell if they have been cropped down, how close they were, or how far back they were. Thank you everyone. [/QUOTE]
