I hope to very soon now actually get my DSLR at last, not sure which it'll be yet, the new Fuji S3 pro or the old S2 pro.
I will then be looking at buying a macro lens for Butterflies, Dragonflies and Damselflies.
It seems a couple of highly recommended lenses (at a reasonable price !!!) are the Tamron 90mm and the Sigma 105mm. Does anyone have any experience of either of these lenses and if so what are the pros' and con's.
Obviously with the Digital multiplying factor they will be approx 135mm and 160mm, will this be to my advantage ?
What will be the effect to the close focussing distance ?
There are other longer focal length macro lenses available, I think Tamron have a 180mm one, would these be too large on a DSLR ?
Many thanks to any responses.
