Hi Dan!
I shall be photographing mostly insects whose dimensions are less than
24mm by 36mm, therefore a 1:1 macro lens is essential for that. I have to
choose which focal length. Shall I go for (90/100/105mm) or
(180/200mm). Both have some advantages and disadvantages. Probably the

BTW: One advantage of the 100mm macro lenses is that they are a bit closer,
allowing better coverage by a ring-light (flash).
I sometimes find that the 200mm macro is too far away to use the AF-140C flash
wich has a rather low guidenumber.

Sensitive to the presence of alien things (alien being anything that's not
part of its normal environment or day-to-day experiences). In this case,
it refers to people.

I have a A100/2.8 Macro which is just great.

I took a butterfly at 1:1 last week.
