Is it suitable for Macro photography?

This tripod offers quite extensive versatility, and we have used it in several different situations, including macro photography. It's a great tripod all around.

Yes it is very well suited for macro (and pretty much any other kind) photography, with adjustable leg positions and a reversible center column. The ball head is also very firm even with reasonably heavy lenses at any position.

Yes and no. If you want to photograph a field of wildflowers then it would work fine because you could get fairly close, 0.82 ft. is minimum focus distance. But for macro photography of a single blossom it would not be the best lens to work with. You would need a true macro lens.

It would, but it's best for small details like toes or fingers like you said, as it has a pretty narrow field of view. For faces and things like that you'd maybe be better served by macro lens in the 50-75mm range. But yes, this would be an excellent lens for what you have in mind :)

It has a good close up setting - I use it to take macro shots and they turn out well. The details are sharp and clear for my use but the macros my daughter takes with her inter-changeable lens camera would fall under the category of professional.

I bought, then returned this camera. Look at the D3300 - a newer and better model. I suggest you try out the kit lens for macro shots before you purchase a specific macro lens.

It isn't really a macro lens but in the true sense but you can zoom from a distance to get a nice close-up say for portrait. It's a telephoto lens.

No this lens is not intended for macro photography. A prime lens designated as macro is good for this. I recommend the Sigma 70mm macro for Pentax, it is really sharp.

With the lens that comes on it , you will get great photos. But if you want macro considered 1:1 ratio, then you need to be sure to buy a macro lens.

Of course, it has macro capability. It all depends on what lens you put on it, but even the kit lens is capable of macro photography.

I use mine on my D90 and it works great. I purchased it to use as a macro lens so that I could do close ups of flowers and small items. The 2.8 aperture is probably not fast enough for movement in low light. To use it, you would have to crank up the ISO and introduce noise. If you can use flash though it would work if you are close enough to the action. Another possibility might be a 50mm 1.8 and then crop the photo, depending on how close you are to the kids.

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

The other responders have covered the most important attributes of this lens and I agree with their assessments. If you don't plan on doing macro photography then this is not the lens for you.

It will do well for portraits and close-up macro photography with enough light. I do like this lens for what it delivers for its price. It does hunt in low-light though, but if you know its application it is fine.

That would be much more a function of the lens than of the camera. For not claiming to be a macro lens, the stock 18-55mm lens that is included with this camera does a pretty good job at closeups of small objects. If you want better, then you'd need to invest in a lens that is specifically meant to be a macro lens. Have a look at the picture at the following URL: http://tinyurl.com/jw25gcc That picture was taken using a D3200, and the stock 18-55mm lens. The flower in this picture is very small, less than a centimeter in diameter.

I think so. I once owned this lens and D7000 and got fine images as a macro lens.

It has an automatic macro mode when the object is very close. Works reasonably well when I photograph coins.

Yes! It's a wonderful combination--great for macro photography, portraits, and general telephoto use.
