Re: Manual Macro Suggestions

precisely.

What you want is an A lens. Most macro is shot at f/8 to f/14.

There is little need for f/2.8 other than to make focusing easier. You will most likely want to use CIF anyway unless you're on a tripod so you use live view.

Even the older macros are good. Actually some are VERY good. But they'll probably have more longitudinal CA than newer optics...
