Macro Lens - Tokina AT-X 100mm f/2.8 PRO D Macro Lens for Nikon AF Digital and Film Cameras or The -Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DLM DG (Motorized) Macro Tele Zoom Lens
Jeff H.
Hello, welcome to Adorama how are you today? My name is Jeff, how can I assist you?
Hi Jeff - I have a Nikon D7100 & looking to get a Macro Lens
Jeff H.
Are you wanting a true macro lens?
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DLM DG (Motorized) Macro Tele Zoom Lens
Yes I believe I do
Jeff H.
Something like that is not a true macro lens. All macro means on a lens like that is it will focus a little closer than normal.
I was also looking at - Tokina AT-X 100mm f/2.8 PRO D Macro Lens for Nikon AF
Jeff H.
Something like this would be a true macro lens.
but I think that is for a Full frame camera
not wanting to spend that much for the 60mm
Jeff H.
Understand, full frame lenses will work on a Nikon very well. It does not matter they all have the same mount type.
What price range do we have to work with?
Would the Tokina AT-X 100mm f/2.8 PRO D Macro Lens for Nikon AF Fit & work on my D7100
Jeff H.
Yes that lens will work very well on your 7100
I have read that Is a very good Macro lens but It would do more as well - is this correct ?
Jeff H.
That is correct you can use it as an everyday lens. It also doubles as a great portrait lens etc.
do you have any discounts on that lens now ?
Jeff H.
Not unless there is one used one second and I will check.
Sadly none chose up in the used department.
thanks Jeff for your help
Jeff H.
You're very welcome
I think that is what I'm going to get
thanks again
