Macros: Close up filters vs Extension tubes?
#24

Rats! Sad

Oh well, there's gotta be a heap of old top-quality manual 50mm Nikkor primes floating around eBay for extra-cheap, right? After all, they used to be the standard kit lens before zooms became so popular.
And the bonus is you'll get a lovely fast prime to use for normal shots too!

But having said that, the 60mm Nikkor Micro certainly seems to have a fantastic reputation (and this is coming from a Canon user who knows nothing about Nikon glass, yet I've still heard it revered by many). Paul's fly shot seems to support this as well - just beautiful.
