![]() ![]() – Amongst what's left, any must-have lens? Or is there another lens (Nikon or 3rd party) that you would recommend? – Is VR useful for macrophotography or not? Are blurs mostly caused by my movements (where VR is useful) or those of the subject? Both 60-mm lenses and the older Tamron 90 mm lens don't have VR and I wonder if I would regret it. Is it easier or harder to take a stable photo with a longer lens or not? – When taking a photo of a flower outside, the greatest difficulty is to take the photo when there is NO wind. – Would the 60 mm lens be long enough or will I prefer the 85 mm - 90 mm lens? On the other hand, I know that it's hard to be stable while doing macrophotography, and generally the longer the lens, the harder it is to keep stable. – Tamron 90 mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro 1:1 VC USD (the new one – $990)īack in the film days, I often found that I had to be too close to my subjects. – Tamron SP 90 mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD ($820) – Tamron SP AF60 f/2 Di II LD (IF) ($520) – Nikon AF-S DX Micro 85 mm f/3.5 ED VR ($630) – Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 60 mm f/2.8 G ED ($730 at a local Canadian vendor) There are so much choices that I'm not sure where to look at. I know that a tripod is a great tool, but in day long 30-km walks, I don't like to lug a tripod just in case. Most of these photos will be taken without tripod. So it would be nice if I were to carry – for example – the 17-50 and the new macro lens, and also use the latter as a short telephoto for portraits or some detail photos (not birds obviously). I have a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VR as my regular lens and a Nikon 70-300 f/4-5.6 that I don't always carry around. – minute architectural details, wood "pores" and the like.īesides,it would be nice if it could be used for regular photos as well. sharp – that might double-up as a general purpose lens, but that would be mostly useful for macrophotography. So I would like to invest in a macrophotography lens. Since I moved into the digital age about 12 years ago I have since done close-range macrophotography with my normal zoom lenses – and I have even borrowed a close up lens – but I find I can't get close enough, and that the close up lens doesn't give justice to the 24 MP sensor of my D7100 (DX format) It might not be stellar macrophotography, but it was still very interesting. Back in 35-mm film days, I experimented a bit with macrophotography using my regular 50 mm lens an close-up lenses. ![]()
