The vr on the macro is a super idea … my 60mm doesn’t have it … fine for tripod work … but have you ever tried to capture the whiskers on a caterpillar with your camera mounted on a tripod??? Not happening!!!! Seriously … I’ve nearly fallen over in a dead faint while shooting with that 60mm no-vr lens, breath held!!!!!!!!! When you’ve gotten a grip on the ins and outs of it, give me your thoughts. No rush!!!!!! Hugzz!!
LOL i’ve gotten into the most outlandish positions already too.. really must compare notes teehee… tho cant imagine focussing on a caterpillars whiskers.. just hope the auto’s up to it..
