Re: Lens comparison for macro work

Thank you for the in depth reply! Yes, I figured it was more complicated than I made it out to be. My limited knowledge of macro is to blame. I mean to do natural environment photos, mostly using natural light as well. I have made pleasant stills with my 70-300 zoom of flowers, but it's not really suited for macro. I am leaning towards a 105mm being the most convenient to handle by hand.

For closer work I am going to try the Industar combined with the Sony, it seems to perform rather well. So I guess I'm kind of looking for the best overall performer for different types of photography. Seeing as all of these would be ideal for macro in different scenarios it really comes down to how they handle portraits and/or other types of photography I suppose.
