Clueless about Macro! Help!

[yogestee]

I need to find a really good Macro lens for my Nikon D70s. I am pretty clueless with specs. I am not sure what to look for. I want to get something that can get REAL close. Any Ideas?

Hi ChowChi-Ching,,,I own two macro lenses for my Canon 20D and 350D..Canon 50 f2.5 Compact Macro and a Tamron SP AF90mm Di...Both brilliant lenses but I am sure Nikon make an equivalent to the Canon 50mm Macro...I am using the Tamron more and more these days and both lenses double as excellent portrait lenses...The Tamron will give you 1:1 magnification ratio..

Check out some samples from these lenses..
