Recently I'm in a dilemma whether to get a prime lens or micro lens.
Currently I'm into close-ups (not macro) and often got very frustrated with my 18-105mm (D90 kit lens) as I need to move quite a distance away from my subject (at least half a metre), but getting a micro lens seems like an overkill. At the same time I also wanna utilize this lens for my portrait and night shooting.
The lenses in mind now are af nikkor 35mm f/1.8, af-s nikkor 50mm f/1.4, tamron af 60mm f/2 micro and af nikkor 60mm f/2.8g micro. My budget is about $500 to 700. If there is any other lens suits the job, please let me know too.
Your kind advice and recommendation please. Thank you
