Fabulous Macro!

Thanks so much.

Can't get any better than this, I reckon. Detail is amazing as are the colours. The image is vibrant and eye catching. Can I ask what lens you used for this macro?

Thank you so much! And absolutely, you can ask. Not surprisingly, it's my favorite lens for the very reasons you sited. The quality on it is a amzing. It's a Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8. I highly recommend it.
