Hi all
I have the 105 VR Micro (on a D7000), which gives me 1:1 but I'd like to go smaller (!!). So I appear to have a number of options. The first is to get some tubes - the ones with the contacts will likely cost me £100 (that's British pounds sterling, as belonging to the Queen, bless 'er). Alternatively it looks like I can potentially put a lens in reverse onto the end of my 105 using a coupling ring.
If I go down the reverse-lens route can I use ANY type of lens (I'm thinking 50mm, something like that)? I guess it doesn't have to even be Nikon, and I'm assuming I should get one with a manual aperture ring?
Which would give me greater magnification? Tubes or reverse-lens? I guess I'm looking for around about 3:1.
Any advice/recommendations would be great.
Ta muchly
