African veined white

Absolutely amazed at the clarity of this considering I took it with a 100-400 zoom. Very impressed with this lens!

  No, it's the old faithful, just wouldn't normally use it for little things like this unless on a tripod, this was hand held and to be honest, without much care as I didn't expect it to come out! Very lucky shot. Posted 10 years ago

    Yes, I've recently experienced the same thing. With the macro lens on most of the time, one easily forgets that a normal zoom lens can do wonders. Exactly like in this example, where you may not want maximum magnification, yet do want a closeup. Added benefit is the large DOF of such a zoom lens. Posted 10 years ago
