Which macro lens?

[mart_d50]

I've had some fun playing with my new lens, feels so different, definitely harder to use than my other lenses, and kept it wrenching my fingers off the focus wheel !

thanks for the recommendations

my best effort so far: (plenty more practice needed...!)

That is a cracking image from the lens! Makes me want to visit a lake near me and take images of more flying things.

It does take some time to master but you seem to have done well on your first outing

hi Boddie, I've got a tripod but haven't used it yet !

for the photo it was sunny and I managed to get 1/350 at f8, I think it was ISO400 but unable to confirm. the photo had a slight crop and tweak in Picasa (have got PSE5 but not got into it yet - find picasa easier to use most of the time)

lens is grounded at the moment (go away rain !)
