[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 252914, member: 17556"] You are welcome. Many zoom lenses that are called "macro" do not reproduce greater than 1:1 macro magnification. Some of them did have a "close" focus ability but that still is not really a macro lens. Macro by definition begins at 1:1 reproduction ratio but most true macro lenses reproduce far more than that. DSLR "F" mount lenses do not differ that much from older SLR "F" mount lenses with the exception of the new AF-S DX lenses that were designed specifically for DX cameras. Almost all Nikon SLR lenses will fit, and function, with almost any Nikon DSLR with the exception that the old pre AI lenses will not meter with the DSLR. The AI-S lenses will meter but will not have auto focus of course. All Nikon AF lenses will work with any Nikon DSLR as well, but will only auto focus with those DSLR bodies that have an internal AF screw drive like the D90. The Nikon "D" series AF lenses also give distance info to the camera for TTL metering. [/QUOTE]
