We have just been on vacation in Turkey.
I wanted to travel light, so as my "macro optic" I just brought the little wide angle Nikkor AI-S 2.8/28mm with me relying on its 0.2m close focus capability.
If you have the opportunity to get really close to your subject, this wide angle Nikkor makes an excellent lightweight macro substitute.
Here used for a Praying Mantis.
First some captures with a narrow Depth Of Field
