Hi there, I have the 105mm micro Nikkor and the 70-180 Micro Nikkor, which I use in conjunction with screw in close-up filters. I would recommend either. If you are using a tripod you do not need the VR function so a second hand older 105 will do very well. Both these lenses have the advantage of enabling you to stand off from the subject so you do not disturb it. The zoom micro enables you to focus and then frame. If you can afford it, go for Nikkor lenses every time - it's the best long term investment.
