I need help finding a good Maco lens for my Nikon D90. I want to take pictures of babies with it. I need a good Maco lens. I also want to find one at a good price. I'm finding ones that are $700 and up I'm look for something around $300. Thanks for the help

Added (1). I want a macro lense for babies because I want to be able to zoom in on the feet and hands and see all the wrinkles and the nails.

You seemed to have made your budget before you did the research to see what such a lens costs.

You may be able to find a good used Nikkor AF 60 mm lens on craigslist. You can also check with B&H Photo or Adorama in their used equipment departments.

Here is one that can double as a portrait lens

Or this one which will give you more distance from your babies

Why are you looking for a macro lens to photograph babies? I think what you want is a prime portrait lens or a zoom in the 17-50mm, F2.8 range like the Tamron 17-50 below. It is $414.00 after the rebate, but it is a very good lens. I have one in Sony Alpha mount and love it.

This sigma 50mm will just fit your budget.

Personally I fail to see the macro bit
