I have a very hard time with macro, perhaps I'm doing it wrong. I have a Tamron 90mm and do you just set it at 1:1 and move the camera forward/backward to get focus? People say use a tripod, but how are you supposed to use one when you're taking pics of insects that fly? I've seen some awesome insect macro but I have no idea on how they can get so close. Are you supposed to just shoot from far away, not at 1:1, and just crop it? My insect shots, my lens is like only inches from the bug.

First attempt at Macro using a non-macro lens, the Nikon 18-200VR.


Tamron 90mm Macro.

Do a google search for macro reverse ring and you should get the idea.




Those are some great insect macros. How do you guys get so close without them flying away?

Patience, and following them around like an idiot. Lots of bugs just chill there, and i'm assuming they are doing their own thing. Don't know we're there, or don't care.

I thought this was a really cool macro! Can anyone ID it for me? I'm not good at that part.

Thanks Mana. Those were taken with the semi-borked Sigma 90mm Canon-mount macro that I got off POTN. Rather annoyed, because it won't shoot at anything smaller than f2.8... gives me an Err01.

Going to bring it to Camtex to see if they can fix it.

(Yes there is a Sigma 90mm macro, it's REALLY old)

If it's a Nikon G lens, it doesn't have any.

I have a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and a Canon EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6.

Those 2 don't have a aperture control lever?

Are you trying to do reverse macro?

mount your lense on your camera, use Av to set the aperature to the setting you want, now hold down the DOF preview button while you remove your lens. The blades will stay put once the electronic connection is gone. Next time you mount the lens the proper way, it will reset back to wide open.
