Re: Best lens for photographing butterflies

90% of my photos on here are taken with Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens. Before that I used a Minolta 100 mm macro lens, when I had a 7D.
Although I have used a 70-200mm, but it's very heavy.

I enjoy stalking and have the patience ( just) to wait for Butterflies to orient themselves into a reasonable position. Some fly away without giving a shot, that's part of the experience.
Anyhow here are a few of my recent Butterfly shots.

Ps Since being on here I now use the 30ds integral flash, and the 430 ex with stofen
