[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 668019, member: 7240"] A dedicated macro lens is not always a necessity. Sometimes any old tele lens with a TC or perhaps some extension might do the trick. These are not life size (1:1), but the reproduction ratio is about 1:3.5 which usually is sufficient to fill the frame with butterflies and dragonflies and such. I shot the pics today with 400/2.8VR + TC-17E II at minimum focusing distance. I didn't blow the pollen away from the petals as I liked the bright contrast.
