[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 200500, member: 15675"] I´m getting into macro, even if I did not foresee that: [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/5/6/7/5/grasshopper.jpg[/IMG] Now if you look at that: 1) With a true macro 1:1 I would have missed the antenna´s, lesson learned, you might not always need 1:1. 1:1 means a subject that is not larger then the sensor! 2) your title wide angle macro seems that you missed the point, wide angle is to get as much as possible an overview, macro is to get detail, thus an oxymoron. 3) where a 40mm micro Nikkon is probably excellent for post stamps or coins I do not think you will get a butterfly with it. The distance to your subject is important, more distance means longer focal length. 4) For macro there are a lot of tricks: lens reversal, magnifying rings, extension tubes, lens stacking. It remains that a proper lens is the best for most. 5) Light is very important in macro, you end up quickly with long opening times, so tripods and remote shutters, Macro flashes and light rings, etc ... 6) Depth of field is important, you will end up with focus rails and focus stacking software, ... Conclusion: Macro is diverse, interesting and technically complicated. You need to try a lot and find your own way. You need to work towards what you want to reach. p.s.: Start with manual focus on the shortest distance on the lens with highest magnification you have and then crop. It will tell you what you want.
