Opteka 52mm 10x HD² Professional Macro Lens for Nikon D60, D40, D40X, & D50 Digital SLR Cameras Now you can take close-up shots like you never took before. Opteka proudly presents the next HD10X macro lens. Originally designed for dentists and medical use, the HD10X is now available to the public. Unlike current single element lenses, the HD10X has 4 elements of high definition optical glass that provides unbelievable detail. Cameras fitted with normal lenses do not permit us to move closer than a certain minimum distance from the object being photographed. The Close-Up lens, which is simply mounted in the front of our normal taking lens, permits the taking of close-ups and also makes possible the photography of details which would be quite impossible without using the Close-Up lens. The easy to use solution for getting extra close. These lenses enable you to get much closer than the minimum focus of the standard camera lens – as close as 4 inches from the subject. Ideal for cataloging small items and focusing on details.
Customer Review: Close up lens wow
I was hesitant to buy this close up lens, couldn’t believe it would be that good. But IT IS! I am 100% happy with it.

Customer Review: Great lens…not a cheap alternative to the Nikon
I was worried when I bouught this lens because I had only tried the Tamron copy, but my only experience with non-Nikon is with Sigma. I LOVE this lens. I got it for shooting sporting events for my university newspaper, and have had no problems in the month that I’ve had it. It autofocuses faster than the Tamron. A monopod isn’t necessary because it’s such a fast lens. Even at night with stadium lighting, the AF has little trouble.

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Customer Review: Great lens, period.
Just got the Sigma 10-20 lens for Nikon and using it on a D80.
It is loads of fun to use.

On the wide end, the extra 2mm difference between 10mm and 12mm maximum width as found on the Nikon or Tokina is truly remarkable. If you are going to go wide, go as wide as you can and get this lens.

Combined with the zoomed end, it is a very versatile instrument and will likely see more time attached to my camera than the 18-135 kit lens.

Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras This high zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras and capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses offer the utmost correction for all types of aberrations, and enables this extended range super zoom lens to be housed in a compact and lightweight construction of 70mm (2.8″) diameter, and 78.1mm (3.1″) in length, and weighing just 405g/14.3oz. The new lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7″) at all focal lengths and has maximum magnification of 1:4.4.The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system, which prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal shaped lens hoods. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use. A zoom lock switch eliminates ‘zoom creep’ during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling.
Customer Review: love it!
I’m not an experienced photographer, but this lense (and my Nikon D40) make me feel like I am!! I love this lense. For the money, it’s fabulous!! The only thing that drives me crazy, is that it is manually focused exactly opposite from my old (crummy) lense, but I’m adjusting.
Customer Review: Reeeaaally hard to beat for $170!
Did some comparisons to the Nikon 18-200 and, while this is missing some features (anti-shake, a little lower f rating at the zoom end, etc), it’s really hard to beat for $170. Image comparisons show this lens, while not quite up to the Nikon, were excellent. It was on par or better than my Nikon 18-70. Focuses well and is relatively solid in build.
