100-300 would be good for bird photos - I'm using 70-300 for this purpose... About advertising that lens is macro - it's a bull shit I have manual sigma 35-70 and it has the same. REAL macro lens gives magnification 1:2 or 1:1 ( in some rare cases even bigger )...

Thank you!

i'll have to give it a try.... since i got my new pentax i havent been able to get any decent macros. i tried on (amusingly enough) a jumping spider, though not the same sub-species as the one here.... but yeh, it just totally refused to focus (manually too) & just ultimately didnt work at all.

Best i've had to date was just a close up of a huntsman taken with my 50mm f/1.4... which has a manual appeture ring, so i'll have to try your suggestion

only issue is the diametre difference on the lenses.... here's hoping!

Oh yes, Pentax has manual aperture - I love it! So what lens do you have?

I have a giant conflict grappling within me, i sire the desire to take a fork and poke this thing because that is just a part of me, ive always felt urges to do fucked up things like that. and the other passion is to run away to a galaxy where no insects exist...

That is excellent, I love how you can almost see through the spider's eyes in the reflections. It would be weird to be a spider.

especially that spiders can't see in 'infinity' - only close range...

Dunadan-from-Bag-End In reply to KJSummerfield [2007-01-26 13:10:37 +0000 UTC]

thanks - anyway the IQ is rather bad... this is almost full frame, no crop. So this means that resolution of the lens set is very low. BUt this is REALLY extreme macro.
