A shorter focal length lens might be better for that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II Telephoto Zoom lens is a suburb lens but it is not ideal for close ups that pick up minute details in very small objects, like jewelry or insects. If these are your subjects you may want to consider a lens that will let you get closer without the loss of focus. The specifications for the lens you use will determine how close you can get while still maintaining focus. The minimum focus distance you can be from the subject with the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II Telephoto Zoom lens is 3.7 feet or 1.1 m., which will allow you to get an image with a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.23x. For a closer range you might want to try the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm F1.8G lens is 0.98 ft., which will allow you to get an image reproduction ratio of 0.16x. If you are looking for a lens that will provide a closer view with more vivid detail at a macro level the Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens provides a 1.0x reproduction ratio and can let you get as close as 1.0 feet or 0.314 m. from the subject. A Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens will give you an even shorter focusing distance from the subject at 0.53 feet or 0.163 m. and has the same 1.0x reproduction ratio as the AF-S 105mm Micro lens.
