    Cool to know that you're also into macro. I wasn't sure as the arthropods you posted so far were large enough that perhaps they could have been taken without macro, but this photo seals the deal :)

    What setup do you use?     Posted 5 years ago

        Thanks! Nice, 100mm is a nice working distance for macro, using 105mm myself. Posted 5 years ago
