I took this shot this morning of a 5mm stamen of an artificial flower, using normal room lighting. The camera was propped up on my desktop scanner. Some focusing issues but a reasonable exposure. Sometimes natural light can pay off

Most lenses below f2 tend not to be a cheap item, although in Nikon fitting they do seem to be below those of the Canon brand.
If AF could be taken out of the equation then one of the older Nikkor lenses could represent great value for money. Older Nikkor lenses do tend to hold their price because unlike Canon you do not need a special adaptor to fit them onto modern cameras. Mifsuds do have a range of Nikon lenses in their used section. Noticed a 50mm f1.8 AFD lens for £99 or the50mm F1.8 AF for£79.

The h9 has a good lens 31- 465 mm equivilant f 2 to 4.5 but it has 15 x optical zoom which is stabilised
Bad news is its not removable but you should get close with 465 but can't vouch for the image quality ??
May find putting it on a tripod or mono pod helps and see how you go

if you want to give serious close up a try on the cheap get a set of small camera bellows on a rack and a 6 element cheap enlarging lens bobs your uncle super sharp shots
it takes a bit of time to get the focus spot on but with digital you can tether to a laptop to help or use live view to help a bit
the vivitar lens is a a sweet one have alook at the 55mm vivitar fd thats cool too
GREAT SITE

Seriously - you'd be surprised.
I think you have just about summed up the difference between serious armature gear and pro equipment. If you have to get the shot you can’t depend on everything working in your favour.
