Why 2.8 for macro ? 1. It helps in focusing for both AF and manual. During focusing, the lens is always at it's widest aperture. The aperture will be close down to the right size just before the shot is taken. Hence, it's brighter and easier to see in the view finder. Similarly the AF sensor got more light as well for better focusing. You can see the effect by pressing the DOF button on the camera, to see how dark the view finder will be at various aperture. 2. Not all macro photo need to be step down to f8 or more, you can play around with DOF to produce interesting photo as well. For example this shot just to focus on the mantis head..... ![]() 3. Another reason to charge more for the lens ...... :lol: |
