Chlosyne lacinia
With that lens and a butterfly so small, a photo like this is not impossible, however, has cost me at least 60 shots to select from the same butterfly. Maybe because it is not a macro lens or I am definitely a newbi. I lean more for the second option. Thanks :) --The Photographer (talk) 13:19, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not many butterfly and dragonfly photographers use macro lens due to their shallow DOF. In-fact a 300mm generic is their ideal choice as a compromise on DOF against details. Eric uses a Sigma 50-500 at its long end for his dragonflies. But there are exceptions like Dr. Saji who use a Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM for his butterflies. He is very famous for his Life Cycle series. A 100mm or shorter is not very helpful IMHO; except for small Lycaenidae. Just some viewpoints; there are different ideas.

Yeah well, I I meant that not everything is mm or apertures, lens quality greatly influences the outcome. I'm going out to take macro photos at this time. Thank you very much for the info, a hug! :) --The Photographer (talk) 15:41, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
