![]() If you find yourself wishing that your 55-200mm was brighter, another option would be the 70-200mm F/2.8, but that's vastly larger, heavier, and more expensive than the lenses you're looking at. A true macro/micro lens also has a flat field of focus which is needed for photographing documents or paintings. ![]() Because it uses the F-mount, it can use any of the over three hundred lenses in existence. A close-focusing zoom will seldom exceed a 1:4 (1/4 life-size) image of your subject. The Best Lenses for the Nikon D500 (2023) By Jason Polak 2 Comments Last Updated On JanuThe Nikon D500 is the most advanced Nikon APS-C DSLR. But it's not really any faster than your 55-200mm at the long end of the zoom range, so unless you think you really need that 200-300mm range (what are you planning on shooting from that far away?), it probably won't really open up a lot of new options for things to shoot. A true macro lens (Nikon, for reasons unknown, calls their macro lenses 'micro') will give you a full 1:1 (life-sized) image of your subject. The 70-300mm would be a step-up in build and (possibly) image quality from your 55-200mm, and if you're taking pictures of things that are really far away, you'll appreciate the extra 100mm. ![]() Either of those might be more useful for you for general-purpose shooting and portraiture unless you really need the close-focus ability of a macro lens. But if you're not planning on getting right in someone's face, you can save some money and also get a brighter lens with the the 50mm F/1.8 (or the more-expensive, faster F/1.4) or the 85mm F/1.8 (if you want something with a bit more reach). You could use it just fine as a portrait lens (its field of view is right in the middle of the classical 'portrait lens' range). The 60mm macro is a great short telephoto in general, with the added bonus that it's a macro lens, which means you'd be able to get really, really close (within 8 inches) of your subject and still focus.
