Was the snake simply close to the glass? 40mm is pretty wide for macro. You did a great job!

SIM0N2 In reply to KrisVlad [2014-06-21 15:21:08 +0000 UTC]

yep. Sitting right at the glas and watching. 
I was lucky that I could take a picture so close with a 40mm.

KrisVlad In reply to SIM0N2 [2014-04-08 15:51:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm surprised it lets you get that close! I'm impressed. I was thinking of buying the 60mm 2.8G instead.

Do you like that little lens? Is it good for flower photography?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SIM0N2 In reply to KrisVlad [2014-04-09 06:37:36 +0000 UTC]

Sadly I got no other macro to compare. 
This lens is my first macro

I love the quality of the lens and the autofocus is fine on a normal distance. On close range, you have to do it manually.
Here are 2 other photos I did with the lens: fav.me/d5d6qi2 and fav.me/d705l5h

I got no chance yet to make a photo of a flower. Sorry =/

That's pretty cool. I know it's not long enough for bug photography, but I don't like bugs anyway.

SIM0N2 In reply to KrisVlad [2014-04-10 11:44:58 +0000 UTC]

Me neither.
But the shells and forms are impressive on close range.

Anyway, the best thing is to try both and decide which focal lengh you prefer
