With a nikon D80 camera what kind of lens do I need to get pictures as close as one inch?

Question

I need to buy a nikon camera but I dont know what lens to choose

Answer 1

The AF Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D focuses down to 8 inches and provides 1:1 magnification. This will be an equivalent  of 90 mm so you will really be close up to anything that you are photographing.

You can also try the 105mm Micro from Nikon and it focuses down to a foot, but with an equivalent 165 mm effective focal length with the D80, this will be up close.

Answer 2

A micro lens is what you need.
