    nikkor f/2.8G AF-S DX micro lens

    But, Grim, it is a true macro lens. But, also as you point out, it doesn't cost what a true macro lens normally would. Hence the appeal.

    And you may already know this, but that 40 will require that you be right on top of what ever you're shooting to get true 1:1 reproduction. Hence, the main macros being in the 90-105 range. You can be a reasonable distance away and still get life size images. The 150-180 range extended the working distance even further.

    If you want a 90-105 range macro, but don't want to pay the full price tag look at a used one. The older Nikkors will work on the new cameras but might not focus or meter. The Sigma/Tamron/Tokina models are also good and a bit cheaper as well.

    but when shooting coral in a tank you kind need 2 be pressed against the glass anyway so being right on top of what ever you're shooting works out

    so i think this 40 with a nice polarizing filter will do the trick

    not a professional, i thnk there is a differance.

    Im not calling you out but just want 2 make it clear.......

    i know it makes a difference when comes 2............ micro macro & close up photography................... but for example, Nikons top macro lens is called AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens. Notice the term micro in that name.

    Now for comparisons sake, Canon’s top macro lens is called a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. This time, instead of seeing the term micro, you’ll notice the term macro within the lens name.

    and if your looking for a "macro" lens then you would want a -TRUE MACRO LENS-

    but my point being is that this is a nice lens with out the true macro lens price TAG..........

    also when u buy a lense make sure its a MACRO not micro. big difference. i may be selling my macro for nikon since my son threw my body(nikon) in a bucket of salt water.

    Correct me if i'm wrong BUT macro and micro usually refers to the same thing, in that Nikon names their range of ‘macro lenses’ with the word ’micro’. Canon on the other hand, calls them macro lenses.

    WTT 2 club tipped anemone 4 nice color zoas

    I have 2 Corynactis californica AKA club tipped anemone i would like 2 trade they are bright red colonial anthozoan similar to sea anemones and scleractinian stony corals. this species is a colonial animal of the order Corallimorpharia. Other common names include club-tipped anemone and strawberry corallimorpharian. The anemone is known to carpet the bottom of some areas.

    This anemone grows no larger than 2.5 centimeters. The anemone is always bright red with transparent to white tentacles that are bulbous at the tips. The strawberry anemone resembles sea anemones in that they lack a calcareous skeleton, but are closer related to stony corals in that they lack basilar muscles.

    The strawberry anemone is found in water deeper than ten feet and may not be visible in intertidal pools. When held and raised in captivity, the strawberry anemone may be fed on tiny crustaceans including brine shrimp.

    So LMK...........WHAT YOU HAVE TO TRADE

    Pseudocorynactis

    Pseudocorynactis spp. are like Corynactis but are much larger (to about six inches (15 cm) diameter, and usually not colonial. They also reproduce by fission, but it is unusual to find more than about six clones together as a group. The so-called orange ball anemones that can be observed on coral reefs at night arePseudocorynactis spp. The column varies in color from cryptic shades of brown to orange, red and magenta. The tips of the tentacles are commonly bright orange, but they can also be white. These tentacle tips are extremely sticky, like flypaper, due to the presence of powerful nematocysts. This fact makes the larger species from the Indo Pacific region unsuitable for aquariums housing fishes, which they readily capture. They also can catch mobile invertebrates such as shrimps and snails, and sometimes "attack" sessile invertebrates growing on adjacent rocks, enveloping them in the gastric cavity through a widely opened mouth. Pseudocorynactis spp. can be fed daily, but only require twice weekly feeding to keep them healthy. If they are not fed frequently enough, they shrink. There is a marked behavioral difference between the common Caribbean and Indo-Pacific species.
