    Buena aproximación a la fotografía macro
    4 Stars
    Buena aproximación a la fotografía macro
    El tamaño y peso del lente es adecuado, pequeño y liviano, compatible con la cámara Nikon D7500 que usé. La relación precio/calidad es correcta, antes no había usado este tipo de lente micro y lo adquirí pensando en conseguir imágenes destacadas de lagartijas de lava de Isla San Cristóbal (cuelgo en este portal cinco muestras de las fotografías tipo que logré). A falta de zoom me acerqué a pocos centímetros de los lagartos y manteniendo el puso con una sola mano hice tantas fotos como podía en modo enfoque automático, no utilicé el enfoque manual porque hasta cuadrar perdía la imagen del bicho. El lente no tiene zoom ni estabilizador de imagen; no obstante, permite una buena aproximación a la fotografía macro.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2021
    I am an amateur portrait photographer who loves 85mm. I am absolutely new to macro photography. I do have a Nikon Z6 II and wanted a Nikon Z MC 105mm. After watching people in youtube taking incredible photos with Nikon Z mc 105mm lens, the hard work they put through, waking up early, camping in wilderness, I am sure I will die an amateur. But I have some trick, like an off camera flash, I am also incredibly sneaky, so right off the bat I took some very close shot and I myself became a bokeh. BTW I am using this 40mm lens on my trusty old D7100. So in summary if you are a run and gun macro shooter, easy and lite weight is your object, you need no other lens.
