Gary,
Thanks Joe, thats the first ring I take?
Yup, but if you have to ask -- ummmm, errrrrrr -- don't quit your day job.
I looked on the nikon website the lens I have won is called a macro on there.
Macro just means that the lens can focus closer than normal. Real macros focus even closer, plus they're so sharp you have to wear gloves when you handle your negatives.
so tell me a specific model to look out for Joe. For close ups of leaves, I know you told me already but tell me again because I is stupid.
It depends on your budget and whether you want to take pictures of living things, which can be scared off if you get too close.
Best on a budget -- 60mm f/2.8 AF Micro-Nikkor. Excellent close-ups, but little free space in front of the lens, so not the best choice for bugs and venomous snakes.
Best all-rounder -- 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro-Nikkor. Good compromise for regular close-ups, which could be covered by the 60, and bug shots, which are best taken with the 200.
The best bug lens -- 200mm f/4 AF Micro-Nikkor. This one is amazingly sharp and amazingly expensive. It's the best of the best, but don't even consider it unless you're seriously into macro.
Nikon also makes a true zoom macro -- the 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 AF Micro-Nikkor -- but for that kind of money I'd go for the 200.
Oh, yeah. There's the 85mm f/2.8 PC Micro-Nikkor, too, but it's far too expensive and specialized for your needs. In fact, it's too complex even for Vuk, not to mention not German enough.
So, my recommendation is for the 60, unless you can stretch it to the 105. Neither will be cheap. Check eBay UK for local prices.
