That’s what I’m really enjoying about the 135/4.5. We’re shooting Prunus
virginiana and Crataegus douglasii douglasii blossoms that are so far up in the
tree we can’t reach them… at close to 1:1!
There’s a 135/4.5 on evilBay right now for $149. Add a ~$100 Telescoping
Extension Tube, and you’ve got your long-throw macro that will also focus at
infinity, albeit manual-focus only, and no bells and whistles like focus
bracketing/stacking.
