    Thanks. These were done with the Sigma 150mm with a 1.4x TC and kenko tubes.
    As far as the best lens? There is no best lens really. They're all capable of taking great shots! It basically comes down to what you want as far as working distance.

    Fantastic shots! Great detail and amazing colors. The first is probably my favorite, but they're all excellent.

    Would you recommend EFS Canon 60mm macro lens?

    But its kinda hard to focus though you need fill in flash to focus easily...

    Great captures, Brian! It would be nice knowing what setup you used (camera, lens, add-ons, f/stop, etc.).

    Thanks!
