    Here are a few from the weekend… all taken within about 3 meters of one another in my garden…! The first is a Drone Fly, then a Green Bottle and then a couple of spiders…!




    All with 5D and Sigma 105 Macro… Harsh lighting galore…!

    Cheers guys… Ye can get a Macro lens for fairly cheap these days… i have the Sigma 105mm bought a few years back now… when used right its still one of the sharpest lens in my bag… as sharp as the Canon 35mm f1.4 and that has a serious reputation….! I hear great things about the Sigma 150 as well..! Good luck with whatever ye buy…!

    …so it might be an Ovidfly…

    Nice shots Richie. I was looking at the sigma macro lenses because they’re available with
    a four-thirds mount. You may just have convinced me…
