I'd recommend the Sigma 50mm - you need to get closer but it's less than half the price and great quality!

Very true used to own one but ebayed it for the canon 100mm

The Sigma 105mm macro is worth a look as well, it's a tidy little lens and does just offer that bit more distance between lens and subject, and that can make the world of difference when trying to photograph some species.

If you are buying it from Jessops check the Jessops web price first as the instore price is sometimes different and you can then make them let you have it for the web price.

Good luck with your purchase...........had my D50 just over a week and it's great.

The D50 is excellent,the Sigma 150 also very good if you find yourself short of ackers look at the Tamron 90 SP di macro

cool i was looking at the tamron macro lens today on my lunch break didnt have a price on it thou

Im new to photography but I have just got a D200 and for a Macro lens im using a Tamron 90mm Macro. Im very pleased with the Lens, I got it for £279.99 It gets the top marks in a photography mag this week beating Nikon, cannon and Sigma Macro lenses. As I say im no expert yet but I do like that lens and have some experience with macro albeit limited.

One tip though shop around as Jessops are up to £100-£500 more on some lenses and memory cards! Check out camera world or warehouse express as they always have the best prices and a much better service in my opinion. I always find Jessop to be pricey with lenses and cards.

Just to let you know the D50 body is only £327 at http://www.warehouseexpress.com/
plus some package deals.

Got my memory card: Sandisk Extreme 3, 1GB, off Amazon Market Place for £31 + p&p.

Good card

Thats a bit Jammy Alan, as you say very good card though. I just paid £88.99 for a 2G extream 3 but Jessops want £221.99 for it!!! How can they claim to have such low prices?
