Debate between Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor and Sigma 50mm F2.8 EX DG Macro Lens?
I am relatively new to photography and I realized I like to take close-up pictures (flowers, etc..) I want to buy a macro lens and I wanted a board between the two options, I think? Nikon AF 60mm f/2.8D Micro-Nikkor http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-60mm-Micro-Nikkor- Digital-Cameras/dp/B00005LE77/ref = sr_1_3? ie = UTF8 & s = electronics & qid = 1255766477 & sr = 8.3 Sigma 50mm F2.8 EX DG Macro Lens http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50mm-Macro-Nikon-Cameras/dp/B0002P19Q2/ ref = sr_1_3? ie = UTF8 & s = photo & qid = 1255766724 & Sr = 1-3 There seems to be a price difference big enough and I was wondering if the quality is really much better for Nikkor to justify this difference, and if yes, how? Thank you for your help!
At B & H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com) there is a difference in price between $ 60.00 Nikon 60mm macro and Sigma 50mm macro. @ $ 479.95 Nikon, Sigma @ $ 419.00. For the Nikon wins $ 60.00. Another macro lens to consider is the Tamron 90mm macro at $ 459.95. It is possible that as the greater working distance of bees and wasps which provides the focal length of 90mm. I could not find a price for the Nikon 105mm macro lens. Sigma Macro 105mm to $ 479.00 (B & H). Although Lens tests can be useful, there are characteristics often overlooked in testing. The Nikon Lens may have a better internal baffling to reduce / eliminate the epidemic for photographing backlit subjects. You will see that Nikon build quality is much higher than most glasses after the market which means a longer life for the Nikon. My vote is For Nikon.
