Thanks Subzero, no I did'nt know that and it is useful. I have decided on the
Nikon 60mm macro as I want to take pictures of flowers and creepy crawlies which wont be too skittish. I am interested in moths and butterflies as well which I know I can get fairly close to.
Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow and get to grips with it with some everyday things. The reason I went for the Nikon is, after searching on the web for reviews of all the lenses suggested there was'nt much between them. I got the impression the Nikon is optically better and I wish to make enlargements and put them in competitions at my photographic club and feel the image quality may be that little bit better.
Thanks to all for their comments, suggestions and advice. It has been really helpful.
Cheers
Nogbad
