Re: PESO: 8 butterflies & 2 moths
Reading from wikipedia: Danaus genutia, the common tiger, is one of the common butterflies of India. It belongs to the "crows and tigers", that is, the Danainae group of the brush-footed butterflies family. The butterfly is also called striped tiger in India to differentiate it from the equally common plain tiger, Danaus chrysippus_._ Henk Op 2018-09-12 om 06:41 schreef Alan C: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaus_(genus) Alan C On 12-Sep-18 04:14 AM, Daniel J.

Re: PESO: 8 butterflies & 2 moths
i don't have much experience in shooting butterflies and already i realise it's a problem. none of the butterflies allowed me to come anywhere near half a metre yesterday and hence the 200mm was useful. all my butterfly photos are heavily cropped so a high res aps-c camera will certainly come in useful. my son, who was shooting with a k-s1 (20mp as opposed to the k-x's 12mp) and the 55-300 has got better results. i am planning to experiment with the fa 100/2.8. i also have a sigma apo 70-300, with a 'macro' which can go down to 1:2 and i am planning to see how that also goes. i am hoping one out of the two clicks On Mon, 10 Sep 2018 15:38:30 +0200 Henk Terhell wrote: > This for me is a dilemma when shooting butterflies, whether to use a > macro lens or a telelens, and APS-C or FF. > Some butterflies allow you to get as close as 1/2 meter.

Re: PESO: 8 butterflies & 2 moths
This for me is a dilemma when shooting butterflies, whether to use a macro lens or a telelens, and APS-C or FF. Some butterflies allow you to get as close as 1/2 meter. However others in the field are easily disturbed if approaching. With a macro lens as the FA 100/2.8 or Tamron 90/2.8A, a high res APS-C camera may be more suitable for its reach therefore than the K-1. And the effective resolution of the K-1 with a DA-lens may be about 16 MP, similar as of the K5, so not gaining anything. Would be glad to hear experience from others.

Re: PESO: 8 butterflies & 2 moths
More great shots, Subash. Interesting that the same species have different common names in SA. Ours are all Monarchs. Your Plain Tiger is known as the African Monarch here & the dark blue Tiger as the Dappled Monarch (rare).
