hi guys, sorry if this sound cliche but I was looking for a cheap tele with macro capabilities. Should I get,

a) Sigma 70-300mm APO

or

b) Nikon 50-200mm VR + extension tube.

Thanks for the advice.

Get a real macro lens better.
Sigma 105mm or Sigma 150mm give an awesome output of macro photos smile.gif

i would go for the option a) Sigma 70-300mm APO,

you may wanna look at

tamron SP90mm (with nikon mount with AF motor).

it gives u 1:1 macro, but u only get 90mm tele.

SP90 photos really poison grumble.gif

Yes.
70-200 VR won't drop below RM 5,500 for a new unit. But for 2nd hand, it will most likely around RM 4,800 - RM 5,000 smile.gif

Owh, thanks..

the wish that hadly to be granted, 70-200 VR below Rm5000.. laugh.gif

Thanks, so many choices for macro lens sweat.gif. Then there's tokina 100mm. I wouldn't be able getting macro lens at my current situation since I got just enough for zoom lens. Maybe another year or so. That's why I need to buy zoom lens with macro capabilities. Thanks mindkiller for your suggestion. I'd look into it.

Just found another technique, 55-200mm with reverse ring + 50mm. Reverse ring seems cheaper but sure is a little difficult and risky imo.

Well, the Tamron SP90 is not that expensive although still more expensive than the 70-300mm Macro.

Because 60mm is too short for bugs shot. At least thats my believe. And the Tamron SP90 is possibly as sharp as the 105mm for a fraction of the price.

At the end of the day you're using a Macro Lens to shoot other things... definitely cannot compare to zooms or primes etc.
