50mm lens was out of stock, and as you say it's hard to get a proper macro for under £300.

Going to oder online tbh



get some reverse lens filters, obviously you'll need to use manual focus but these seem to work a treat. then if ya really do love it, consider a macro lens :)

edit, as for a 50mm lens, do it.

this link might be worth a look.

I wouldn't bother with the macro lens and push to get the Nikon 60mm VR. Still £370 though. :(

Any recomendations?

Nikon D60 is the cam.

Thinking about getting a 50mm lens, and also a macro :look:

Around £150-200 for the macro lens?

Thanks
