There's only one tip we can offer: the shorter focal length, the smaller working space in between the subject and front of lens (i.e. 40mm DX, 60mm, and 85mm DX). The longer focal length, the bigger working space (i.e. 105mm VR and 200mm). The lens choice is entirely up to you.

nah, fps rate speed plays a very little role here. yeah, there are higher chances you'll get what you want but it won't be always in focus. the challenging part here is getting the insect in focus.

@rexpaix you can make continous shooting, some MUST come out the right way :)

Either 40mm ƒ/2.8G AF-S DX or old 60mm ƒ/2.8D AF will do. If you want to pay a little extra, new 60mm ƒ/2.8G AF-S. All are great but we don't know your description of "great", so, rent them out to see and decide for yourself.

Great tutorial!

i bought this 105VR few years back hoping i could capture details of tiny insects. just like others do with the reverse lens technique. problem is some insects keep on moving (hence no tripod). if they stop moving, strong wind will sway the leaves they're into so focusing is so hard. question is: they're killing the insects first, aren't they? they just won't admit it..

Nope, most kit lenses don't get that close.

does the kit lens can do that? |
