[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 557108, member: 10447"] I agree with Scott, tripods for insect work are a PIA, handheld is the best way to go for live insects. Dead insects would be a different matter, thats where the tripod and rail would come in handy. Your 55 should do quite well, I mainly use a Nikon AF 55 D f2.8 for most of my macro shots, I find it better for the way I work than my newer and much more expensive Nikon afs 105 f2.8 VR. You can see some of my shots in this thread, all macro shots were taken with the 55, [url]http://nikonites.com/project-52-s/34650-ironwoods-52-backyard-critters-2016-a.html#axzz49BAccBbE[/url] I have found to get good insect photos you need to use flash and a diffuser, I have made quite a few different types of diffuser, but mostly use a simple foam cut-out AKA "The Scott Murray Diffuser" [/QUOTE]
