| Can someone suggest a decent macro lens for Nikon. I take photos of jewlrey and I need a macro lens soon. But I don't have a lot to spend. |

| I have been using an inexpensive Quantaray 70-300 1:4-5.6 Tele-Marco with my D70s and for an inexpensive lense it works pretty darn good. Not sure if this is an option for you (if you need a macro light ring etc) but it works good for me and at $180 you can't beat it. All my marco shots were taken with this lense, you can see them out here |

| You might be able to get by putting extension tubes behind your 70-300 zoom. At the wide end, you could certainly get up to 1:1 magnification that way. |

| Depending on what "a lot" means: I like the sigma 105 2.8. It's a tasty little lens. I think it's around $350ish. |
