I have a D50.
1) This one should almost be illegal it's so inexpensive for the quality. I grabbed mine for $85 new. Sigma 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Macro.
2) I now have this one as well, which I use the most. It takes beautiful pictures, even though I'm not that good with the camera. It was about $380. Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
As well Nikon has an amazing macro, but it's a bit more. The real question is, what's your price range

yea. that 2.8 F-stop is what i want. I like the 80 dollar price tag on the other one. I could live with the 3.5. Do you get a lot of light with the 3.5-5.6 with a high high shutter speed with it? I dont like to stop my water when I take pictures. BTW those are awsome pictures. which lense are u taking those with, im guessing the 2.8f-stop 
Nice clean pictures.

I typically have to turn my pumps off regardless. I have 50-100x flow in my tanks due to SPS.
All depends. Typically I snap a bunch in manual and auto, playing with the settings, and look to see what comes out the best.

When I take pictures I use all the settings and pick the pictues that look best. So i usually end up shoot about 50-100 pictures of the same thing.
Maybe I just wasnt made to take pictures. I am thinking its the lense though. I am currently using a AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G ED lense

I took that picture about a week ago when I had just a 65watt hood florescent. I now have two 250 watt MH's ove my 46 gallon bowfront. I will turn off all water movement and take some pictures and see what happens.

Here is one on my Yellow Tail with the new MH's
Nice pictures. What kind of ISO do you set up for your camera? I have a Sigma Macro Len 150mm.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=8967970#post8967970 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by RokleM

I use a 90mm Tamron Macro personally.
There are differences between Sigma, Tamron and Nikkor but after reading reviews I got the Tamron due to price/performance.

I would be suprised if thats not ISO 200. I do not see any grainy effects on those. Those are very crisp pictures. I think im going to buy that Sigma 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Macro. There's someone on ebay selling a few for like 30-45 dollars
