    I am not a macro guy, but every spring I really enjoy shooting butterflies, bees, bumblebees on flowers and other crawling insects. My...

    Especially butterflies, you need longer focal length macro lenses to shoot them

    variable magnification seemed to be like focus extending the front of the lens forward. at normal distances, this doesn't change much...

    It's a beauty. I rented it first and then had to have one. Using it on a Sony body but just about everything else I own is Canon. For...

    One more here! I'm a fan of the 180mm macro. I have had the focusing system repaired by canon a couple of years back. It would be...

    Has anyone actually used the SA control? Mine has been locked at 0 since I got it. Is it just for bokeh shape control? There is only...

    Does a patent exist? It would hit one of the smaller niche areas missing from the EF range. TS-E would be the last one I think plus the...

    A long macro is much better for moving subjects like insects and animals.

    Nah, work comes first :) I'm happy with my 28 and 45 or 50 1.8 for personal stuff. My fun with photography doesn't need red rings 😝...

    Well, it's definitely a fun lens... Whether that justifies keeping it or selling it for profit is, of course, your call.

    Probably fine to use AI to make some illustrations, but I am not a fan of AI inventing new lenses like the "180" mm lens labelled both...

    Sounds like you understood my doubts, thanks for replying ;) I have handled this lens before, it’s not like I’m looking at 10mm for the...

    I use a Laowa 85 on my RP a lot and I love it. I just bought the canon RP 100 macro and on my R5 I feel like I am carrying a brick...

    I have never been a fan of long macro lenses. I have owned the 180mm and never got on with it. I can see why people like long focal...

    Personally, I love the RF 10-20/4. I had the EF 11-24/4 and often left it at home because of the size/weight...the 10-20/4 is far more...

    This would actually be a lens that I would consider purchasing. Wait and see.

    I use the MP-E 65 and the EF-S 35mm f/2.8 macro on an R7 for moth photography. Both have their advantages/disadvantages but I'm tired of...

    In macro, if it's a prime, "magnification ratio" will extend the front element enough that using it as a normal focus ring becomes...

    So, today I found myself an open box 10-20mm for a little over 1000€. Obviously, I brought it. The first idea is selling if for profit...
