I shot these photos this weekend. If you look at the second photo you'll notice a fly in the damselfly's mouth.

DB said:Superb color & sharpness. I do not own a macro lens... yet, but am thinking of getting one soon, instead I just use my standard zoom

neuroanatomist said:Well...the 24-70mm has among the highest native maximum magnifications of any non-macro lens...
HeavenHell said:That's a real cool shot neuroanatomist. I need some experience with motion shots....you've inspired me.
DJL329 said:Actually, on a 1.6x crop body (like the 50D), the EF 50 f/2.5 would have an equivalent focal length of 80mm, which would give it more "reach" than the EF-S 60mm.
DB said:Neuro, it is just that the EF-S 60mm has a quoted max. magnification of 1.0x whereas the cheaper EF 50mm f/2.5 has a figure of 0.5x (so I guess we should just use the reciprocal values i.e. 50mm macro has a max reproduction ratio of 1:2 whilst the EF-S 60 enjoys 1:1)
neuroanatomist said:In other words, a lens marked 50mm has a focal length of 50mm, and a lens marked 60mm has a focal length of 60mm ... - regardless of the size of the sensor behind that lens...
DB said:Wow! Great shot...from only 1-foot away too, amazing it didn't fly away. It seems those macro lenses really do the job.
@ jimmy156 what made you opt for the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 over the 50mm f/2.5? was just the extra reach?
