What is the difference between macro and micro lens. I am looking to buy a close up lens and would like help deciding, so I only buy the macro lens once.

Hello Fred, There is no difference. They are the same it's just Nikon calls their macro lenses, Micro?

Finshape, I have the tamron 90 and love it. But if i had to replace it, it would be with the Sigma Macro 150mm F2.8 EX DG HSM. Tuff decision I know I was in the same boat. They are all good and sharp!
