RE: Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica) 6 photos
I had a Sigma 105mm macro lens on a Sony a7R iii (42MP full frame sensor), and very close to the subject which for a wasp is a huge monster, the head is about 8mm wide!
I'm happy the photo achieved such a reaction! :)
o, Sigma 105, I know that. I figured out this wasp was huge, and not walking around...... damn, still fantastic result! 42MP also might be of importance, right?.. so you shoot it 1:1?
42mp gathers a lot of fine data, then it can be zoomed in without a loss of image quality, click through to the images, zoom in until it starts getting chunky!
Not sure if the ratio is 1:1 lens etc is a home right now.
105 is 1:1, as far as I remember. I use Sigma 150mm with Canon 5d, and it simply doesnt rank :D but I am not too experienced in macro, started less than a year.
Ah, I wish you the best of luck. Having a specialized macro lens really does help get close and lessens the flattening effect of telephoto lenses at their maximum.
