i have a Nikon D50 and i was wondering what is the best lens to use for Macro and Close-Up shots?

any help for a beginner

Have a look at the sigma 105mm & the tamron 90mm both give good IQ and are true macro 1:1 lens

this is soo a beginners question but would that fit on my d50?

either just make sure you get a Nikon fit - with a macro lens its best to use manual focus and focus by moving the camera backwards / forward until your subject comes into focus, with a macro lens you actually change the image magnification by changing the focus point .

Sigma macro series - 70, 105, 150 are all good options depending on your focal length requirements.
