Macro Lens for Nikon

[wasabi8888]

Anyway, i have decided to get the 105mm VR, since i really like macro photography of flowers and insects. I understand that it will be a challenge for the insects, but i guess I can get TC 1.7X or 2X if I need to (not preferable). Worst come to worst, get the 200mm Nikkor lenses.

Vincent, the 85mm 1.4 is for potrait lah... that one not so much a priority... I understand your point about getting lenses because people around me also get. Thanks for the concern.... I will re-evaluate that lens. I know it's a great lens though, just that I need to see the difference myself...

Well, i have bought the SB800 over the weekend. I did not buy the cord though.. I need your advice on the cord... WHat is it called? is it to remotely trigger off the SB800 without triggering off the built in flash?

Good of you to make your choice. The cord you need is sc 28 or sc 29[additional features].

It hooks onto your cam flash mount on one side and your flash on the other to give you lots of lighting options, direction being the most important.

Thanks Stan... will get that soon.. still reading the manual for the flash.. really complicated.. but i have tried to use it.. and it's great.. now i know the difference between images taken with built-in and external flash..
