Re: Take a Macro lens!

Good advice all around. I like the idea of a 50-55 macro lens. The Nikon 55mm in f/2.8 or f/3.5 is a great lens and doesn't cost that much on eBay. Figure another $35 for a good adapter. I had good luck with the seller she-in on US ebay. I think they use a different name on UK eBay. This gives a very nice 75mm effective focal length. The advantage of a macro lens is maybe not wanting to put the camera on a tripod all the time, but you can focus on things closer well and still do hand held in that 1 foot to 2 foot range.
