 Originally posted by Kevriano  A post to show some comparison. 2 shots of the exact same Silver Spotted Skipper (a rare butterfly, confined to a very small part of the UK.). The first was shot with the 150 - 450 at 450mm, and cropped slightly, the second, just for comparison here, is with the 100mm 2.8 Macro, as I managed to sneak close enough before it flew. Both on a tripod. I think the macro only just has the edge on detail... F/10 on the 100mm has given you a bit more DOF than the 150-450 @F/9 so it does look a little better . A bit sharper also . Both look quite good though . I still think the 150-450 mm lens is a cracking lens and use it extensively in the field for the many varied opportunities that you come across without worrying about changing lenses ..

Bright and cheerful . I see you have used F/8 for this image . I often use F/13 for close up work with this lens and i am very happy with the results , good DOF . Certainly no negative effects when used for close up work , although i would never use F/ 13 for telephoto work and generally stick around F/7.1 to F/8 if i have good light only . Anthony . ---------- Post added 08-13-2017 at 09:46 AM ---------- Here is an another example of using a smaller aperture with this lens for close up work . In this example i have used F/11 to get the needed DOF . As with my hover fly shots [ f/13 ] that i previously posted , i do not believe there is any negative effects to using smaller apertures for close up work . What do you all think ? Anthony .  | |

Anthony . thanks for the comments and suggestions I agree with how versatile the big guy - 150 - 450 mm zoom seems to be I also have the D FA 100 macro and I like it as well | |

My last couple of posts were taken at the 150 end of the lens and with small apertures . These two were from the 450 end and larger apertures . First at F/5.6 and the second F/7.1 . Both shots are of Australasian Grebes diving . The first is also presented as a high key type of shot with a very slick bird . The second has frozen the power take off before diving . Regards Anthony .   Last edited by boydbowlin; 08-21-2017 at 02:00 AM. Reason: added second file | |
