Originally posted by TER-OR What kind of macro photography are you interested in?
another thought from a newbie at macro, if I may, I have two macro lenses with my K 3
the pentax 100 macro (no WR) and
a tamron 70 - 300 mm macro zoom ld 1:2.
I have learned that the best the tamron will do is a 1:2 but only if the lens is maxed out to 300 mm. Obviously the 100 is better at 1:1.
however, if I should be out shooting carrying the 70 - 300 and come across a image I want to attempt macro, I'll take the shot. I am amazed at the results I can get from cropping the image in pp.
not perfect but still nice for not using a true macro especially since I am not using flash or shooting in staged environments
if I have the time or am using the 100 macro, then I am better off for macro except how close I need to get to the subject and how skittish it may be.
BTW I'm a seeker of knowledge so anyone have more hints I would love to hear them.
