That is a great lens and will be a great setup. I almost went with the 5300 but got the 7100.. The lens I ended up with was a Tamron SP 90MM F/2.8 DI MACRO 1:1 VC USD for $750. I have been doing a lot of practicing. I found that with a 90-105mm macro lens you can really get down and dirty... that by adding extension tubes between the body and lens you can get closer than 1:1.

This Desert Diesel was done using extension tubes and the free Digicam remote control software on my pc and sharpened with Lightroom. I enjoy doing this almost as much as the bud.

My telephoto leans is Tamron. I've tried quite a few macro lenses at the camera store. I'm going with Nikon. The price difference was negligible. On the telephoto Tamron was almost half price of Nikon. I'll take 400 pics in a hour or two. So I got a 1TB hard drive for pics and editing software. Probably get a lens light and tubes when I get the macro lens soon. I had to rebuild after getting out of jail a few day into dec. last year. Was rebuilding from a divorce before that..... But I have my health...... Snicker..... And jars of pot...

LOL.. well I have jars of pot... still trying to get the health back though. You definitely have a lot more slr experience than me. I'm still a newbe.... only been messing with them for a few months. The extension tubes do work great with the 90mm tamron though. Even when using all 3 tubes(68mm) the end of the lens focuses for max magnification 6" away from the subject so light isn't a big issue. When I tried them with a 40mm macro I had to get too close to focus.

I turn 50 in 6 months. I work 7 days a week 8-14 hours a day. It's more like a marriage with my work partner then work. Love doing it. Restarting a delivery service before Xmas. Love California but hate most of the people. I sell everything from cutting off my plant to clone yourself, clones, preteens, teens, minimoms, moms, giant moms, bud and shatter....
Strains currently running are Tangerine Dream, Amsterdam Chronic aka Supernova, Chernobyl, Banana Kush, Jilly Bean, King Tutt, Sunset Sherbet, Strawberry Cough and UK Kush. Starting seeds next month of Purp Dog, Bubble Diesel, Jilly Kush, Mazar Sherife, and a few others.... I lollipop and defoliate most plants. I grow 9 five gallon pots under one light. We also pull over 2.5 lb per light. So I have lots to take pics of. Lol.

lol.. yea? That sounds like a nice little venture. I live in a midwest unfriendly area so just growing my own stash but it would be great to be able to grow like you do.... can't afford to move right now though.. I'm over 60 but growing keeps my mind young and my body a little more pain free.
:peace:

Nice! How long before it's ready? Be careful of that big tall cola. I had one break from its own weight..:x

That was the start of day 49. She's got a tomato cage for support, and a strong stalk so she should be ok. I have a taller one that is already tied up in the tent though.

Edit: I did have to tie the stalk down to get it away from the light. Lots of stretch on these. That is what is causing the drunk lean.
