U-r going to be in a controlled environment :
What is the goal ?
Are the images Portraits ( Macro Portraits ) or some sort of detailed study requiring super close up?
Is speed of concern ?
Buy a Macro Lens , 28mm for 5mm Subjects = Not a good choice ..
Are you going to be image stacking ?
If not , I would recommend a 100mm Macro lens ( 1:1 ) , If you need more macro , you can lens stack a 50mm in front for 2:1 Macro ..
If you have macro skills up the wazoo , then chose tubes or bellows ..
If not , a 100mm Macro lens with Aperture ( A ) control would be the way to go ..
The variables are - Whats required ( pictures ) - the equipment needed ( to get the pictures ) - and your skill ... ( get good pictures )
Sounds like you have a very interesting time ahead of you ..
Is there some where to rent a lens ?
Like maybe a 105 Sigma , or maybe a 150mm Sigma , or a 180mm Sigma , or maybe a Close focus 500mm Sigma .
I would like to know = Whats expected !
Did they provide you with a sample ? ( photo's )
