Hi,
I've got a Nikon D80 with a Tamron 200-500 lens, which is a good setup for photographing birds, but doesn't really have a small enough minimum shooting distance to be useful for shooting butterflies and dragonflies. Would the 300mm f4 lens (Nikon) be a solution for this; a teleconverter could be used for birds, and the lens on is own for insects? Or would I be better off with a separate macro lens?
