I uas all Nikon equipment and the lens that I used was a Nikor  f 2.8 105mm Micro  with a 1:1 ratio for lifesize pictures. That lens is really made for the Nikon Analog cameras such as the F-5 which I have as well. The digital factor for the sensor in the camera with that lens is ~ .50 increase in focal length. That lense also servesm as a good portrait lense for head and shoulders and close up photography. The 105 mm will run ya about 450.00 at B&H Photo NY, NY www,BHPhoto.com Its little brother is the Nikor 60 mm f 2.8  1:1 as well 350.00.
