thanks .. whats the difference btw this AF-S and AF-D?
macro lens means the smaller the number the better right?
AF-S for nikon means there is motor driving the auto focus which is suppose to be faster.
AF-D is without motor.
But some of the macro shooters prefer to do macro using manual focus, so the auto focus speed may not be a concern. Depends on individual need.
Err, what number do you mean?
Hmm, i suggest you read this writeup from megaweb. A good read for macro. :thumbsup:
Macro FAQs
thanks .. reading now
the number i am refering to the 60mm , 50mm, 100mm , 180mm
I assume you're talking about anime figurines, mostly of the 1/8 scale type? These are considered large enough to not require a macro lens. In fact, it would be hard to work with anything more than 60 mm. I would suggest a a 60 mm macro (I use canon so am not familiar with Nikon system) or the kit lens, which has a close focusing distance and is quite sufficient considering the fact that you don't want to buy a lens just to take figurine pictures.
one noob qns. can 18-200mm lens produce the same effect as macro 60mm if i use it to take figurines ?
sorry , i quite confused with the numbers abt the focal length .. will try to read up for these.
