Hi guys and girls!
Right. So, instead of buying a macro lens for the D700, I'd like to get a lens that can do as near to 1:1 as possible.
Currently I have a 65mm Sekor C and at full bellows extension it can get pretty close, however the wideness of the lens doesn't really work for close up work imho. I tried some close up work with the 90mm Sekor C when I had it, but again, it was quite wide.
So, I have been considering the 180mm Sekor C lens. Does anyone know if this lens (at full extension) will focus close enough to get nearish 1:1 reproduction?
I don't really want to get a dedicated macro for this body as they are more expensive than me simply getting a macro lens for the D700.
Any help muchos appreciated!
