Macro lens choice for NikonZ

Hi All,

For a macro photography, I am shooting with Nikkor 105mm micro lens, but looking also for some wider macro lens, to be mainly used in a "blackwater" conditions.

Nikon have released a Nikkor Z50mm macro lens, but I've read its not a best choice for underwater.

Could you please advise on a better macro lens choice for my Nikon Z7 + Nauticam housing setup, as an alternative solution for Nikkor 60mm which has been recently discontinued by Nikon.

Thanks in advance,

Alex Lemberg

I use the Nikon AF-S 60mm macro with the FTZ adapter with a Z6 ii. I am very pleased with the AF speed and low light performance in blackwater dives.

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, AF-S 60mm was a preferable option, however, this lens is not in stock anymore, and I am looking for an alternative option.

Your best bet would be to source a second hand copy, I,m sure there would be a few around.
