Isn't it a problem that you have to go rather close to the butterflies? |
These are all crops since the lens doesn't focus as close as one might prefer. However, it seems to be an allowable distance if the butterflies behavior is any indication. My butterfly pictures have always worked out very well when using this lens. It seems to get close enough and the sharpness holds up well to cropping, even though all shots were wide open. I suspect the f/2.9 aperture helped with a decent depth of field, but without too much definition in the background. I have another copy of this lens that I will probably adapt for a shorter minimum focus. I virtually never use the lens at infinity. _________________ Regards,
