RE: digitalis - ISO setting for macro
Thank you!! I can definitely see the difference in those shots. I always worried most about the fstop, if I had time. I will definitely be studying my camera manual. Considering I mostly use a heavier lens (I find I get closer looking shots with the higher mm lens despite the longer focal distance) I better get doing hand/arm exercises or use a tripod....
Likewise, Thanks. actually for start try just use one lens. for macro, i prefer prime lens. meaning it's just one focal length. like 60mm, 85mm and 105mm. thou there are some lens that seem hybrid. it can telephoto and macro. that might be more confusing for people new in macro shooting.
I don't have one that isn't zoom right now. The lens I'm finding I'm happiest with says:
TAMRON
AF 75-300 1:4-5.6 LD
TELE--MACRO(1:3.9)
Then on the other side it has infinity symbol-1.5m (4.9ft) So I assume that means 1.5m is my minimal focal distance.
Hi,I did check your lens specs. Its very different vs a prime macro lens. Since Tamron put macro. Lets try to see what it can do. I would suggest you try to shot at 75mm only. Since it says your minimum focus is 1.5m try it. Experiment also if u can do maybe 1meter. See if canefocus. Use f8 To f13. You can even use your dslr built in flash. Then after this ,you can test shoot at 300mm. Then you can see which is best. That your tamron can do. It will be hard or bad to compare it with a true macro lens result.
My other lens doesn't say anything about Macro. Probably why it doesn't work so well. ;-) If I accumulate a bunch of steem I can look for a straight higher quality macro lens, but right now it's not in my budget I don't think (I'm on disability). Although I migth see if family wants to contribute for next xmas/bday.
i read this post https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/11389018
so you will need a closeup filter. to get nearer.
Thank you!
