I have a NIKON D3300 camera and want to get into photography especially with inverts and other smaller species of reptiles and mammals. I need some help finding the perfect lens for it though.
And, it appears to me, of having the patience of the average glacier attached to a section of the brain that is entirely dormant or suffering from total atrophy in my case. To wit, "Honey, there are teeth marks and slobber on the camera. Did you try taking macros again?"Macro is mainly about practice and lighting.
Not sure about the freeze motion settingraphics, not even sure if my camera has it. There are a couple of other options to freeze motion 1.) Use a shutter speed upwards of 1/1000 of a second if your subject is really zipping around. And 2.) Take a series of photos of the same subject in the same position and use photoshop to layer them on top of one another. If you do it right it can give you far more detailed shots than just a single photo. (I have only seen the latter used in astro-photography but the same principal may still apply). As far as lenses go, you already know I'm an advocate for the Nikon 40mm dx macro. Nothing negative I can say about it.Speaking of macros. This camera, Nikon 3400, has a freeze motion setting where it can take 5 frames per second at full 24 meg pixel res. I was thinking that would be the cat's meow if I could couple it to a good macro lens to catch those spider eyes and antics. You know, pigeon hunting with a rapid fire anti aircraft gun kind of stuff. But I can't find any info on doing this, from Nikon or after market. Anyone have any clues or hints?
I second the Tokina 100mm, it's what I use. Did you know Tokina was started by a group of Nikon engineers that branched off wanting to do more zooms back in the day?The Tokina AT-X 100mm f/2.8 PRO D Macro is a great lens, as good or better than those from Nikon and the other secondary market names. And, it's a bit cheaper than the Nikon 105mm. You may not have heard of Tokina if you're not into photography, but they're well known for producing quality lenses.

The Tokina is awesome, but it won't autofocus on the D3300. The D3300 doesn't have the motor, only D7000 and up. You can still use it, but it's manual focus only.Well I'm shipping them almost 4,000km.
