wtb macro lens for Nikon D40

Might be good to know what lens your shooting with now, You might want to look at Sigma lenses they are slightly cheaper than the nikon equivalent. *edit nikon does make AFS macro lenses now.

 

ehh just get an olympus underwater camera with a macro setting does just as well but gotta get wet

 

I shoot Pro part time, and when I want an alternative to Nikon, Tamron seems to be nearly as crisp and sharp.

 

i've seen people use reverse rings with excellent results, and at $10, it's worth a try

 

I am a chapter leader on the MCA (Midwest Cichlid Association). We have a photography 101 section that. There is a lady who knows her stuff on there. Cavy2. You will havet to register on there and shoot her a pm. She is extremly into Nikons. She can probably find you one or point you in the right direction of one. She has taken pics that have been used in magizines I believe. Her screen name is Cavy2, but her name is Cathy.

I have the reverse rings and the macro filters for my D40 but they are nothing like the real thing. Let us know if you find something Dave without spending $400.
P.S. You never PMed back on when you want to drill that tank. I am holding your $25 hostage until I hear from you.

 

A co-worker of mine does a lot of photography and he recommended trying a non-DX lens with an extension tube. He mentioned that he had good success with that prior to getting a real macro lens.
