@donray@mastodon.online oh never tried 55-200mm !
I only own "close-up lenses" and rings... but butterfly rarely have the patience to let me get close, like some spiders would do. Most of my best shots were 4 cm away, getting very very lucky https://julianoe.eu.org/biodex/
gotta try some longer lens some day. 🤔

@Julianoe@mastodon.xyz That’s a nice collection. I’d like to have a macro lens. On the other hand, it’s nice to just leave the same lens on the camera all the time. The lens I have is good for butterflies. I was probably 15 feet (4.5 meters) away from the butterfly — which doesn’t bother it at all. For birds, it’s lucky to get within 5 meters without them flying away. Still, sometimes it works.
