So, thinking about purchasing a dedicated macro lens for my d90/d5100.
I'm thinking of either getting the Nikon AF-S VR Micro NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-Micro...F8&qid=1372343071&sr=8-1&keywords=nikon+105mm)
or the
Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens (Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for Nikon: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics)
So questions....
What are peoples views on the above lenses? I've done a bit of research myself and at the moment I'm leaning towards the Sigma.
Also, in order the get those really close up photos of bugs and stuff (like in the macro thread (http://www.avforums.com/forums/photo-sharing/1753724-macro-close-up-thread-part-6-a.html)) will I need any further equipment? Like a tripod, ring-flash etc?
Thanks all
