Question

I need a macro lens for my Nikon D40X, any does anybody recomend anything??

Answer 1

I use the sigma 70mm f2.8 DG macro lens.

It gives full 1:1, will work on a full frame camera (if you have a film nikon, or hanker towards a D3 or D700) and is astoundingly sharp up to f16 (many others drop off around f11)

It's also keenly priced compared to equivalent nikon lenses.

Answer 2

There are two that you may want to consider.

The AF-S 60 mm f/2.8 or the AF-S 105 mm f/2.8 VR

Both are exquisite lenses

Answer 3

Depends On What You Wanna Spend...

Nikkor's Micro ( Macro ) lenses aren't cheap at all, actually, they are quite expensive. Some thousands of dollars, aimed at professionals, or amateurs with high-budgets..

That's Nikkor's 105mm Micro-Lens, Which is a very good one, i did alot of research on this lens.. But it's around nine hundred dollars.. :( Not Cheap.. )

Another one that i researched: the nikkor 60mm Micro lens, it's around 480$, which isn't bad for a lens with such specifications..

NOTE: the above lenses are ' prime ' lenses, so you can't zoom in or out, they are fixed-focal-length lenses.

Answer 4

if you want a cheep one and a very good one and has both tele and macro lens you should get the sigma 70-300 mm f/4,5.6 DG  it's amazing it's 135$

but if you want a only a macro lens but the best then you should get the Nikkor - Macro lens - 105 mm - f/2.8 G ED-IF AF-S VR it's between 729 to 900 $$  and that's a very high price but it's amazing

and you can get the Nikkor - Macro lens - 60 mm - f/2.8 G ED-IF AF-S it's for 470 to 670 $$ and it's a normal price and a very good lens

so good luck buying the best lens
