Beautiful colours in the last photo, love the reds. I bought this lens to replace my tamron 70 - 300 (it had bad chromatic aberrations) and I havn't even had the chance to use it yet!

Thx. I always have this idea that the Tamron version is better^^;

I tend to MF and use ISO200 (Cause it was a cloudy day) f8 to f16. AV mode with P-TTL HSS. This lens tends to be a bit soft in macro, so u'll need quite a bit of sharpening. As long u can get a sharp shot, with a bit of post process u can get shots like these^^

cupic · 06-04-2008, 07:03 AM

^^^Yeap the last three are simply breathtaking

cheers

Gorgeous colours. My first reaction was, "These were done on film, surely!" Stunning clarity, smooth yet really sharp. A credit to you.

Are these insects alive when you took them if so thats really good and if not it's still really good.. very spot on...let me add on thats tack sharp...

zeek10d · 06-05-2008, 01:50 AM
