Thank you all and especially to you BC <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> for your willingness to take time to help. I think you make sense in suggesting a longer lense, although too long a lense for insects is a problem when they move. But it is true that you have to get very close with an 80mm focal length (50mm in DX)and a 100 or 105 in FX would not be that different. I will have to test it out with the 70-300 to see the different focal lengths and my ability to find a moving object.
Have any of you tested the circular Metz macro flash with any of these lenses? Kindly Vieux Loup
