Question by Scissorhead: How Do I get good insect macro’s with my sigma zoom lens?
Do I need a macro lens to get good macro shots? Iv got the sigma 70-300mm lens on my canon 1000D. Can I zoom in too get close up pictures of insects etc.. ?
Best answer:
Answer by casperskitty You can shoot insects with a zoom lens. Just keep in mind that they aren’t going to have the look of a macro shot. In a macro shot you can often see tiny details in insects, like the proboscis of a butterfly, but you don’t get that kind of magnification with a zoom lens. Still, I have seem some amazing shots done with zoom lenses so just get out there and try. Just remember to use a fast enough shutter speed when using a long telephoto so that you don’t get camera shake.

WILL THE LENS WORK WITH THE NEW XSI???

Answer by skidd yeah it will work. All the Canon’s digital or not have the same mount. the Digital rebels also have the internal drive motor so it will auto focus aswell. : )
