[QUOTE="nickt, post: 618502, member: 4923"] What lens do you have? I have the Tamron 60 and then I got the Sigma 105. Both great. The 105 gives me a little more distance. Up real close at 1:1, the difference is not all that much between the two, maybe I can get 2" further out with the 105. Out at greater distances, I appreciate the extra reach of the 105. The dof will be thin with whatever you get. For a given focal length, aperture and subject distance, the dof is what it is. I shoot mostly with flash to get that aperture up really high. Like f20 and higher if I am real close. You can back up a little for more dof and crop, plenty of pixels in your d7200. I've shot bugs at 3 or 4 feet with the sb-700 blasting them and got good crops. You won't get f20 at that distance, but you won't need to go that high. edit: I forgot to hit the button after i typed this, lol. So about 20 minutes went by before I realized it didn't post.
