<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1783080, member: 29643&quot;]Not all 55mm lenses are macro lenses, for starters. Beyond that, the more I read up on macro photography, apparently, even the 55mm lenses that ARE macro aren&#039;t good for macro photography. The recommendation seems to be to use a 150mm or 200mm macro lens for macro photography.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m assuming this is for taking those cool bird/insect pictures, where you see the details in the feather, as opposed to coin photography. In any case, the 55/3.5 micro-nikkor has a minimum focusing distance of just shy of a foot, so I can&#039;t imagine that interfering too much with lighting. At the very least, it HAS to be an improvement on the 3cm distance with my point and shoot. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, Ben&#039;s expertise in this is WAY greater than my own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
