Beauties! Looks like you were nice & close judging by the detail in the photos, yet great depth of field. Something I struggle with when using the macro lens.


I was within about 12 inches of most of them, but was using f/11 for the aperture which helps with the Depth of Field.

I am glad that you enjoyed the images.

The 18-135 will fill virtually all of the focal lengths you will need that the 150-600 does not and is a pretty good lens. You have one other choice that will seem odd at first glance, but is an inexpensive stop gap measure. If you are intending to shoot closeups of flowers rather than landscape type photos the 150-600 is actually a decent macro lens when coupled with extension tubes. It is a little heavy for macro, but gives you an excellent working distance and after market extension tubes are inexpensive.

Heck one can stand back 10 feet and get darn good closeup with that lens.

I have never even tried using extensions tubes with it. Hope you don't mind having an 3.8 pound bazooka dangling on extensions tubs.

Need some feedback for purchasing my next lens.

I currently have a Canon 90 D. The only lens that will work with it is a Sigma 150 -600. It's great for my wildlife photography which is my focus, but I still need something else to continue to do other types of photography.

The budget is limited since the camera and lens are relatively new purchases. I want to do some landscape, flowers, and general all-around stuff. With my flowers, I typical lean more to close-ups, and I currently use my iPhone for that.

I am currently looking at trying one from Amazon (free return policy). The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is a Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box). I know it's not a USM, but I wonder if it might be a stop-gap lens. I'm open to looking at other ones, but recently, this one has popped up.

I typically purchase from B& H. Also, open to refurbishment.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!

Barb

I have the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and use it with both my 70D and my R50 via a EF2R. It really is a great lens! Also have the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary Lens.

Very impressive set of flowers. I'm a sucker for a good apples blossom images and you sure didn't disappoint. Is #1 a Dame's Rocket? What type of e-bike do you have. I used to have a mountain bike but switch to a Raleigh (looks like a Schwinn) so I could sit upright instead of bent over all the time.


I have never heard of a Dame's Rocket. I do know it is also been called a Silver Dollar Plant, Money plant, Penny flower, and Moonwort. I had to look up the Dame's Rocket and no it is not the same as the Honesty. Annual honesty has big, heart-shaped leaves with the base much wider than the tip. Dame’s rocket has more lanceolate leaves and a hairy stem. Also, the seed pod shapes are different

My eBike is the Heybike Mars a 7 speed with a 48vdc 500 watt motor. I can get 32-35 miles on a full charge with peddle assist. I posted a photo of it in response to another post. It is a great way to still get out and still get some exercise. It has been well worth the money I spent for it.

Nice photos. We don't have much in the way of flowers yet. It is just warming up.


we went from the low 40's and jumped into the mid and upper 60's and everything just started blooming. Spring is such a magical time, and a great time to take even more photos.
