Best macro/portrait lense for Nikon Hello, I would like to buy a lense that can take close-up portraits of babies and detail work but I would also like it to be a good portrait lense. I am working with a Nikon D 90 at the moment but will definitly be staying with Nikon. If anyone has any idea which lense would work best for me I would appreciate your insight. Thank you, Shino

With the APS-C size sensor, a 60 will give you your macro and 90mm crop to approximate to 85 to 105 focal length commonly associated with portraits. In reviewing lenses, look for pleasing "bokeh", or smooth rendition of out of focus backgrounds. The Tamron Di 60mm macro is highly regarded, but it's by no means the only 60 macro out there. Consider also the Tamron 90mm f 2.8 macro or the Tokina 100mm f 2.8.

Shino, I like the Micro-Nikkor 105 2.8 lens for close up and micro work. It is an extremely sharp lens. Give it a look.

With an APS-C sensor go with the 60. With a full-frame sensor go with the 105.

I love my Nikkor 50mm prime, I think its a f1.8, maybe f2.8. I use it constantly for portraits and detail work!
