You can get the Nikon DX Micro 40mm/2.8 G for under $300 from B&H. It has good reviews, 1:1 macro and is wide enough to be used for landscapes. If you want more distance between you and the subject (say a bee or wasp) then look to the 105/2.8 micro...which runs just under $1000 new.Hello!
I have a Nikon D3100 and am looking for a macro lens. I love landscape photography best and am interested in capturing the smaller details of the outdoors. I have looked at the Tamron SP90MM (Model F017), but wondering if that's too much lens for just an amateur photographer like myself...just looking to enjoy capturing the outdoors "up close". From the limited research I have conducted so far, it appears that macro lenses are good for more than just up close and personal photos, so that's attractive to me as well. I am seeing a price range from $650 to $1K for this lens, so also wondering if there's another brand or model that would work well for me on my Nikon D3100.
I am not terribly well-versed on the technical terms, so any information that would point me to a lens (or more) would be great! I'm also wondering if anyone could direct me to the best source for a macro lens. Camera stores are kind of a thing of the past it seems and the idea of spending this kind of money online makes me nervous unless someone can recommend a reputable source for lenses (please).
Thank you in advance for your help!
