You always get better perspective from other people and they point out things that you never thought before. The old saying that two heads think better than one!
Hi!
That along with a 200 F2 macro would be the ideal insect macro and I know the 300 F4 with teleconverter works well too. My only issue with these lenses mentioned is that they are very expensive and they need OS/VR or a tripod to get good shots as compared with the 100mm that can be hand held in a pinch. I guess its hard to have a cake and eat it too!
I hear nothing but praise for the Tamron 90mm macro.
I agree and once owned that lens. It had beautiful colors and a wonderful bokeh. However to my misfortune, the lens started missing the focus while doing portraits at a distance and I would get a lot of OOF shots. I could not believe it from an otherwise perfect lens. I ended up selling it. I may have to try it again or just try the Tokina instead.
For occasional macro use I would say no. I've used the 70-300mm VR with a Nikon 6T. It will get a little closer than 1:1 with
How is the working distance of the 70mm macro? I hear it is a very sharp lens.
After viewing these pictures, I think that I answered my own question. YES, I need one!!
....But very expensive! Too much for my budget in that field of photography.
