Any recomendations?

Nikon D60 is the cam.

Thinking about getting a 50mm lens, and also a macro

Around £150-200 for the macro lens?

Thanks

You'll struggle to get a proper macro for under £300.

I wouldn't bother with the macro lens and push to get the Nikon 60mm VR. Still £370 though.

Went to town earlier, didn't come back with anything

50mm lens was out of stock, and as you say it's hard to get a proper macro for under £300.

Going to oder online tbh

get some reverse lens filters, obviously you'll need to use manual focus but these seem to work a treat. then if ya really do love it, consider a macro lens

edit, as for a 50mm lens, do it.

this link might be worth a look.

The 50mm is MF on the D60. In anything but good light MF isn't ideal.
