What purpose will work better than I do?
I am a photographer (very amateur) and love to take macro shots of things different that I find interesting. I'm debating between two lenses and wants to ensure the correct purchase. Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor ED 60mm f / 2.8 G first I have seen. More cheaper than the other, but do not know if I am able to get the macro photos I after this goal. Nikon AF-S VR Nikkor 105mm f / 2.8 G ED Micro-SI-second, designed (of I can tell) specifically for macro photos. I searched and researched on the Web site of Nikon, and I'm still at a crossroads as to which one to purchase. I have a Nikon D60 SLR with multiple lenses, and I'm delighted with and the pictures I've taken so far. I just really want to get a lens designed specifically for macro shots. I'm looking for responses from people who have used one or two lenses and have some experience with macro photography. THANKS!
A macro lens by definition captures an image 1:01 in the sensor. So if you took a picture of a fly … Progress on the sensor is the same as the fly in real life. Allot of manufacturers, in an attempt to increase sales, the word macro is used quite loosely. So if you're looking for a macro lens to make sure you take photos with a ratio 1:1. TWO of the above lenses give a ratio of 1:1, the two are macro lenses. Taking into account that gives a 1:1 ratio and have the same maximum aperture have to take into account the working distance. Allot of macro objectives require you to get very close subjects (the lens focal lenths smaller). I have a lens Macro 35mm (70mm in 35mm film), that taking photos in the final 1:01 of my lens is 40 mm away from what I'm focusing on. If the working distance is important for you, you should consider the 105 mm in front of. 60 mm also recommend you read some comments like the lenses are a great investment information. Best of: Hopefully! More than 60 mm has a minimum focusing distance of 18.5 cm, and 105 has one of 31.3cm. The thing to remember is that although this is not from the front of the lens. This is the sensor of your camera. The camera body and lens itself must be taken into account when looking at the working distance.
