HoverFly macro (2)
Copyright ©2007, Fonzy -
Viewed times
No , this time not the Sigma 150mm macro lens but the ED50-200mm.... I just was shooting some ducks when this little Hoverfly landed on a twig near me... So what do you do , change lenses or take the shot , well did the last and it seems to have worked out quite well...

HoverFly macro (2)
Fons,
This is really good, I like it very much. It seems brighter then the previous macro shots, is it the lens or just a brighter day?
Kindest Regards: Peter

G'Day Fons -
Yep; no doubt about it; you don't need a stinkin' macro lens. Knowing just how small these critters are this is simply amazing stuff you're cranking out of that ZD 50-200 lens - a-ma-ZING!!!
Are you sure you didn't toss a macro extension tube between the lens and the camera body for this and the other hover fly shot you just posted???
BTW: Go Team SPYKER!!!
Ciao!

Very sharp and terrific colours!
I can spot your photos by just looking on the small thumbnails on the front page. How do you do it?

Big laugh here Leon...thanks for the comment...
I guess it was the sunny weather that helped me , first time this result came out of the ED 50-200mm
There was nothing attached between the lens and the body....I checked...LOL
