Hello,
So after taking my pics yesterday I realised that my camera is now showing it's age. It is Nikon D50 which I probably bought when they came out in 2005 with two lenses:
18-55mm
70-300mm
The problem is that neither is great for macro - well the 70-300 may be better I need to try on the tripod but even then it only has a 6.1Mb - my phone probably has near the same and actually in comparison takes better close-up shots.
I don't really want to buy a new camera right now (airbrush first), but I'm thinking it needs to be looked at. I was wondering though whether a newer macro lens - a nikkor-Micro I guess Nikon call them - would be worth looking at, I can use that with my current camera and then when I do get another I could use it then too - though it would tie me to having another Nikon.
Thanks,
Neil
