[QUOTE="jdutruch, post: 120802, member: 13175"] Hello, I just bought a Nikon D600 and two lens, AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4G, and the Nikon AF DC Nikkor 135mm 1:2 D. Would someone please tell me how I can achieve the close up shots like John Kimbler, who gets close into the face of an insect...with 3-5 times magnification capability. I have seen several others who take those wonderful ultra macro shots using the Canon MPE -65mm macro lens, like Kimbler also uses. Now, I have researched the best way to achieve those shots with what I have (all Nikon) and have become totally confused. I am far from a professional photographer but lack a lot of technical savvy. Do any of you more experienced photographers have any suggestions as to how I can most easily get to the 3-5 times magnification capabilities with my camera. I am willing to buy new lens or attachments if that is needed. I appreciate your time and your advice. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
