The Dream
From the time I first got into photography back in my day of analog (film) there was one lens I craved and this was a great MACRO but for one reason or another it was a lens I never got around to buying. And four years passed since buying my first DSLR (Nikon D90, which was my fourth digital camera) I was still wishing for a great MACRO lens. A prime macro/telephoto lens to compliment my swiss army knife lens, my Nikkor 16-85mm 1:3.5-5.6 DX.
I'm happy and exited to say today is the red letter day (WiKi) I had dreamt about for all the years past. I've purchased the following, my "dream" glass, a prime telephoto, a true 1:1 MACRO Lens which comes highly praised by pro reviews and user reviewers alike.
