macro lense

[mth1993]

I just went through the selection process a few weeks ago. I settled on the tokina 100mm 2.8. It reviewed as shaper than the more expensive nikon lenses Tokina 100mm f/2.8 Macro AT-X PRO D AF

You will have to manually focus. It's street price is around $400

Good luck

the first lens really isn't a macro lens. as the closest you can be to something is 3.1ft to ensure the lens will be in focus. The f stop is kinda poor too the other ones with an Fstop of 2.8 will be perfect.

will the Tamron work with the Nikon D3100 too or is there a better macro lens for the D3100
