[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 359376, member: 31397"] Good answer J-see, but I'd still like to ask another question or two, if I may on this. 1) My 70-300mm VR[U] also[/U] has a min focus distance of about 4.5 feet, at 300mm .. how is the special built macro different on that? [I] (I thought the whole point was that they had a [U]closer[/U] min focus distance'.)[/I] 2) In order to get sufficient depth of field , dont you still end up pushing the f-number up to around 22 anyway? , so more of the bug is within it? [I] If I need more light, the on-camera flash is right there to supply some - I can use a diffusing element inbetween to reduce the flash induced shadows. 3) [/I]with the dedicated macro alone , you cant get better than 1:1 ?
