re macro

Yes.Jason I had to get in close,but it was'nt uncomfortable.The spiders were very small,the second photo shows a small,and rather nasty looking spider.I was trying the focus on the very tip of the lavender flower,it was only when I examined focus I saw him,so set about trying to get some pics.

I bought the lens,unplanned,of the chap who sold me the 17-55 F 2.8,he wanted to sell this 60 mm macro F 2.8.I knew the lens was a quality lens.And I hav been thinking about macro for along time,the 100 mm version would really be better for this type of thing,and I certainly plan to get one.However the 60 mm can be used for a bit more genral use,so at $400 with hood and filter,and so sharp,so small,I could'nt say no.
