11/7/2023 0 Comments Nikon macro lens for d7100![]() – 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. ![]()
