Any macro/micro lenses for the Nikon DX that has lower mm than the 40mm?
Specifically that will fit for the DX format (D5100). Just wondering if there's a lens (hopefully prime) that is lower then 40mm and has macro capabilities.
And YES I know that "40mm is already too little for macro" but that for me is too much because I need to do PRODUCT photos (not insects and stuff). And the 35mm prime won't focus close enough for me.
Added (1). Fhotoace you don't understand. I need to record a video of a table with items on it, and at 40mm I will be touching the wall. I will be always recording for 10 minutes in each video and getting close to a product and far away to record the long table. Even 35mm is better.
You need to go back to the fundamentals of photography
The best focal length for shooting products with your cropped sensor D5100 is actually the 60 mm f/2.8 macro lens.
Why?
Any lens shorter than 60 mm will cause distortion of the product you are shooting.
What products are you shooting? Diamond chips?
Just set up your product and light it. Then it does not matter how far your camera is away from your product.
