However, this is meant to be a lens review, not a discussion of your very personal preferences and style.

In controlled conditions that will almost certainly produce a better result. However asking that hovering bee to hold still for 6 consecutive shots, at different settings, isn’t always an option.

What type of macro do you work?

Really? Macro subjects result in extremely shallow depth of field. You can’t imagine needing to stop down all the way with a *macro* lens?

Can’t we all just agree that Jaron is paid by Nikon?
