Nikon D800 Tests: Using a Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 for Macro/Close-up. (Lens Versatility)

Nikon D800 Test: This test was done with a Nikon D800 & Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 lens, using three "stacked" Close-up filters: +1, +2, +4. The test was done to gauge the versatility of a single, mid-range, quality lens when used as a Macro or close-up. (NOLA Red Beans & Rice)

Do you really need a Macro Lens? Maybe, if macro is big part of your normal shooting. But if (like me) travel weight plays a big part of your lens decisions, you might consider packing one or more Close-up Filters. I found with a quality lens, like the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8, I can produce acceptable macro images, without the need to lug around a dedicated macro lens.

New Orleans' Food, Red Beans & Rice!
