close up lens - nikkor 55-200 mm

[yeroeni]

Hello,

I'm just a beginner in photography and don't have that much money to spent.

I have already a nikkor 55 - 200 lens together with a Nikon D60 camera.
What would be the best option for me? I thought about a close up lens..


Does anybody have any suggestions ?

This was an experiment to prove that very point,

If possible look for the Nikon 3T and 4T close up lenses (2 glass elements makes it a lens), rather than a cheap set of close up filters by the likes of Hoya.

Set of quality extension tubes like Kenko or Soligor, which will not interfere with camera metering could be a good option as well.
It will allow focusing from the closer distance and will be useful with other lenses if (when) you acquire them.
