My Christmas present this year from Tom was a macro lens. He got me the one I told him to get, and then I promptly discovered it was not at all what I wanted. Not enough zoom.
So I returned it. And then I rented another one to try it out, and, oh, good gravy, it zoomed so much it was like using a microscope. And it required a tripod to steady the shot. Which, when I think about documenting Neko’s nature finds, that’s completely incompatible. Too much zoom.
And then Chris found this little Sigma number, and I think I’m declaring it’s just right.
I shot this in our poorly lit kitchen shortly after ripping open the box and finding the first available small object—Lego flowers. For reference, each flower is about 3/8" in diameter.
I know all of you can’t wait to see all our summer bug finds up close and personal!
