Hi guys S9 here with another ? again, I'm diving into shooting macro and am realizing that it takes a specific lens with a 1:1 magnification, which isn't marked on a lens, and also that "macro" is sometimes just used as a marketing gimmick. As there a few people on here who are posting amazing macro wildlife shots, this seems like the place to ask.
Body: Nikon D3400 DX Lenses: Nikkor 35mm 1.8, kit Nikkor 18-55mm VR and 70-300mm VR, and a Tokina 11-16mm 2.8.
I would like to be able to get the crystal clear, close up shots that some of you guys are getting.(I tried capturing a tomato worm today and could not get zoomed in and focused close enough no matter what settings I used) What lens can you guys recommend or is there an adapter which I can add to my mini collection? Thanks a bunch!
After lots of reading I'm finding that an extension tube on a my 35mm, or a magnifiying filter on a 300mm lens would get me the closest, but I'm also considering one of these 5 lens. (I guess the extension tubes aid magnification best on short lens, and the filters on the telephotos lenses) Nikon micro 105mm f2.8 Tokina AT X M100 AF PRO D Macro Lens for Nikon F ? 100mm Af-S DX Micro 85mm F3.5 G VR
Of course, the lens are expensive so am really trying to research to get the right one and might just go with a magnifying filter for $50 or an extension tube to save some money, but wondering what has been the general experience with people who've used them...
