Hi all, i am a bit of an amatuer at macro, hoping to upskill over the forthcoming months. My girlfriend designs and makes her own jewlery, and up until recently has always paid for it to be photographed. I am looking to buy a decent bit of glass to do this myself.

So far i have become very confused, was looking at getting the Nikon 85mm micro, and this is the sort of money im willing to spend. However, reviews seem to be quite critical of this lens, without giving many alternatives. Some have suggested Tamron 90mm or even a sigma, but i cannot tell wether they would be compatable with body i have? Any advice suggestions appreciated

Thanks in advance Steve
