Well done!!
I used the 60mm macro ( now I have 100mm) . It’s a wonderful lens to capture butterflies. A bit of a learning curve at first. start from “far” and get closer and closer till you got good sharpness. You are gonna love it! Some butterflies fly away but some stay. Just be patient. Can’t wait to see your next shots. .
@dutchothotmailcom I thought about the 100mm lens when I bought the 60, but it was a lot more money and I thought the 60 was a bit of an extravagance at the time. The bug traffic in our yard isn't what it used to be and this summer I'm working on weeding, and planting seeds. If this endeavor proves successful, maybe I'll reinvest in a zoom telephoto lens. I don't see it happening this year, but who knows???
