Re: Tripod for outdoor macro Photography

The 105 is fine for flowers or other objects where you can get up close, or larger specimens but for insects I would recommend the 150 which gives that little bit more working distance for those easily spooked species. A lot of macro photographers on this site use the Sigma 150 but there are other makes available.

I prefer the 180 and often find that a bit short, especially when working in brambles, gorse or larger bushes where it is physically impossible to get any closer.
