  Have a look at the AF MICRO NIKKOR 60mm
1:2.8 D LENS. It's a very sharp lens.

Or if you have a little extra money, look at the Nikon
105mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor. The former is a great
lens, I have it myself. The latter (105) is supposed to be a much better lens. One main advantage of the 105
is that you have a longer focal length thus keeping the front of the lens farther from your subject and making it easier to light. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-105mm-Micro-Nikkor-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00005LE78
I hope this helps.
Happy Shooting.

  Merna N,
Consider the Tamron 180 mm macro as well it will give you more working distants as well as a narrower point of view.

Best of Luck,
Daniel

  I love my Micro-Nikkor 105mm. I have used it for years on a film camera, a D200 and now a D700.
