Help me Macro Users, you're my only hope..

:lol:

Actually I was wondering if someone out there had a macro lens I could borrow for a weekend or so. There's something I need to shoot and the kit lens and the 80-400VR just don't cut it in this situation.

I've borrowed from Mudder & Kipper in the past and I think they can tell you I return things in the same state they are lent to me.

Anyway.. anyone with a macro lens that won't be using it for a few days sometime in the next week or two, please let me know..

Thanks,
Dean.

I have 4 lenses:
Tamron 90/ 180 and Nikkor 60 + 200.
Which ones do you want?

I don't want to buy one...

Well that's not true.. I do, but I can't buy one.

I've never played with a proper macro lens, but I was thinking that 90mm would be sufficient

Once again birdy shows just what a true legend he is!...

You truly are a generous soul Birdy.....I am sure everyone here appreciates just how much you bring to this forum !!!

There's not many people out there that would do close to a tenth of what you do for everyone here.

All the best to you & yours :-)

I always feel bad after birddy does me a favour.. there's only so many times you can say 'Thank you' before it sounds forced..

If we truly managed to express how grateful we are he would probably think we were trying to hit on him.. and look for access to all his camera gear I'm sure we've all considered that

I'm in an odd(er) mood than usual :roll:
