Hi Guys,
I currently own a Nikkor 50mmf1.8. I was wondering if I should get a Nikkor 60mmf2.8 Micro for macro work. But the closeness in focal length of these 2 lenses would probably leave one on the shelf to collect dust. I have heard of good results with the 50mmf1.8 attached to extension tubes. I'm not sure how much these extension tubes are (kenko, Nikon), nor if they affect AF, flash accuracy, metering etc. If I were to buy the 60mmf2.8, I would be in a fix if I should sell the 50mm because its such a good lens and it wouldnt fetch much.
Does anyone have experience with the 50mm with ext tubes ? If the image quality is close to the 60mm micro, it will solve my problem.
Regards, Marc.
