Macro lens & set for product photography

[Barykada 10]

I'm going to shoot some jewellery next weekend, thought someone may recommend me nice, not expensive macro lens for Nikon.

Or if anyone has this lens or macro studio set (sort of) (tent/table + flashes) and is keen to lend me it for 2 days, that would be brilliant Of course nothing comes free

have a look at hiring a lens if its just a one off.. the Nikon 60mm macro is spot on.

all so some of the sigma macro lens are very good

I'll hire 105mm because I need it urgently, but I'm planning to buy Tokina 105

I have Tokina 100mm and it's amazing lens

[Barykada 10]

Aww yes, sorry Tokina 100mm 2.8 atx-pro Do you have for Nikon or Canon? I've heard that's the AF speed it's rubbish, is it true?

[andy_LT 10]

Nikon version. AF is slow, but for macro you use manual anyway also cracking lens for portraits too

a tip for macro. camera on a tripod, live view, use the - and + button to get in to the image and check you focus.

Also if someone want extra sharp image set self timer to like 2seconds + Exposure delay mode (which will flips up the mirror first preventing from shaking the camera).
