Hi,
I am shooting handmade jewelry with a Nikon D80 (with lightbox setup) and am looking for a better lens for this situation. Need to get detailed shots at a close range and am having trouble achieving this with the Nikon 18-55.
People have recommended a fixed macro and I found this Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG on Craigslist and seemed within my budget.
Any thoughts on this lens in particular or any that you would recommend would be very helpful. Or just any hints on shooting macro with the D80 will help in my research.
Thanks much!
Steve
