Could you describe a bit better what you need?
What kind of paintings? In a museum / gallery or as a visitor? Or are these paintings some you have done yourself? Is a tripod an option?
What quality do you need? What do you want to do whit it? Sell prints or for you personal enjoyment? Are you printing your files for sale?
What do you dislike about your current ( the borrowed set up) equipment.

Hi,
They are mostly oil painting on linen (no glass, no shiny paint) my own work, so will be photographing in my studio, I have available natural light and studio lighting. Have a one person show coming up next year so I need good repros for a gallery catalogue as you can probably tell I'm not a photo geek ( wish i was !! )
'Brightcolours' has kindly suggested a few great lenses, was thinking about the 40mm f2.8 DX micro from Nikon, the nikon DX lens I'm using has too much distortion and the AF is broken. I also have a tripod.
thanks :-)
