Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boy Wonder" data-source="post: 1493017" data-attributes="member: 66392">Would like to indulge in some macro photography for both work and pleasure and hope to get some help if possible. The subjects I hope to capture would mainly consist of butterflies, dragonflies, moths and flowers to illustrate the varied wildlife on the reserve and encourage our visitors to look out for them. They will be printed off on A4 and displayed in the Visitor Centre. I may also take some interesting beetles and insects too but nohting overly small as I want the visitors to see looking for these species as fun and not a chore. I have a 1.5 converter and extension tubes for the 400 5.6 and wondering if and what effect they have on a macro and would they sway my decision away from either of my shortlisted Canon 100 2.8 and Tamron 90 2.8?All help and advice greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
