The downside is that their sensors aren't as sharp & perform worse in lower light, but they're easier to handle & a great deal cheaper than the 35mm form factor. <br /><br />OTOH with larger format interchangeable lens cameras, another cool trick is to use macro spacers behind telephoto lenses (300mm - 500mm). It makes tracking pollinators a bit easier & you can stand way back from the subject & not disturb it.<br /><br />Some telephoto zoom & prime lenses also have a special macro mode, which accomplishes the same thing ... it projects the lens assembly forward, losing infinity & up to a stop of light, but gaining medium macro at a surprising distance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930647200007699602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189043384158652063.post-71757628517569709352017-08-16T20:27:38.538-04:002017-08-16T20:27:38.538-04:00Thank you for your generous tips and gorgeous imag...Thank you for your generous tips and gorgeous images.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
