You have all probably seen a mass of blackfly saturating the tips of many plants...well they look like this.


Coupekid..if you look in I am curious about how your f1.8 50mm would compare against my 60mm. I am toying with the idea of changing mine.

and a single greenfly

Re: Different

Pops, presumably your 60mm is a macro lens and the 50mm is not. You couldn't get these pics with a 50mm

Thanks Stephen. I must have misunderstood because I thought Coupekid had a 50mm macro

Ben has the EF 50mm f/1.8 - a fantastic value lens. The use of extension tubes or a reversing ring could turn this lens into a pretty effective macro lens.

Thanks for that info Ian but I prefer a dedicated macro lens.
