New D80 need help
 

Would like to get suggestion on the best lens to shoot macros with. Currently I only have the D80 with a 18-200 vr lens.
I do have a tripod and I was thinking of the SB600 or 800 flash.

thx,

taggin along.. got one for christmas..I just received Nikon 105 VR and tri pod. But still cant tank nice pics..

Looking for advice..

Your best bet would be the Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR. I have worked with the older 105mm AF-D micro lens, and would probably choose it if I couldn't afford the VR version.

As for speedlights/flashes, I wouldn't really use one while shooting anything on my tank, except if it were equipment shots. I would just find the right white balance, shutter speed and aperture, and use the tripod. A remote would be helpful, or you can use the self-timing mode to reduce vibrations.

Thanks,
