Hi,
I'm starting photography as a hobby and I'm interested in macro shots. I was thinking about buying the nikon 40mm 2.8 micro but I'm worried that 40mm is too short.
I've been reading a lot over the last few weeks and the focal length on macro seems to simply increase the distance you can be for an equivalent shot.
Is the 40mm going to be too difficult to get good lighting with if my lens is nearly on top of the subject or will it be ideal for a beginner to try without spending nearly double on the larger focal lengths?
