Hi John,

Thank you for your opinion! I do not see any significant difference in lightning with both of the lenses.. do you? Or all the lightning is not good here?

The specular highlights look worse in the 100mm images due to the increase in working distance (flash/diffuser closer to the subject with the 60mm lens, so the light looks better).

I realize that it would be better to use something like Nikon R1C1 system for macro but I'm not sure that I can invest that much money right now.

Can use anything for macro -just don't leave a standard camera flash on the camera's hot shoe.
