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

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
