What kind of lens should you get for a Nikon D60 if you want to photograph small things like insects?
A dedicated macro lens is the best choice - something like the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED would be a good first macro lens on a D60. A general purpose zoom with a macro setting would be an acceptable second choice. If you have a telephoto lens, you can use it as a macro lens by adding an extension tube. This lets you focus closer than you normally could with that lens, but you can't focus out to infinity with an extension tube. A "smart" tube that will let auto-focus and aperture work is fairly expensive, but still cheaper than a macro lens. Another alternative is to get a reversing ring and put a 50 mm lens on backwards over a medium telephoto lens. This can get you some incredible close-up shots but is tricky to use... you pretty much have to focus by moving the camera.
