[QUOTE="nzswift, post: 432018, member: 9707"] I'd definitely go for the 55m Micro (I have one). It is optimised for macro work. Either the 3.5 or 2.8 will do as long as you get AI or AIS versions. The 2.8 sometimes suffers from sticky aperture blades so make sure they are nice and snappy. It will give you an effective 80mm lens on DX so you will be at a better working distance than on a FX body. I feel you are always manually focussing with macro so AF is not needed. [/QUOTE]
