I want to purchase a macro lens and I've narrowed my selection down to
two lenses, both Nikon. One is a 60mm and the other a 105mm. I'm an
amateur and have no experience with macro lenses but I can think of one
possible advantage that the 105mm has over the 60mm.
I don't have to be close to the subject to get a macro shot. This
would be perfect for insects or anything else that I want to get a shot
of that may be skitish. And if I'm using a 60mm and I want to use
natural light instead of flash and the only angle I can get ends up
blocking the light or casting a shadow on the subject so NO SHOT. The
105 will let me step back a little.
I'm sure there advantages that the 60mm has over the 105mm but I just
don't know them; not to mention there are avatages that the 105 has
over the 60 that I just don't know about.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
