Q. What Should I Buy?

A. Reader and Canon EOS 5D user Gura Nieves asks us what lens he should get “to take pictures of very, very small creatures.” The best choice is a dedicated macro lens. What focal length? The longer the macro, the more working space it gives you (important for skittish butterflies and the like), but the more expensive it gets. We’d opt for a short tele such as the 100mm f/2.8 Macro Canon EF ($600, street); if he intends to handhold the lens a lot, the image-stabilized 100mm f/2.8L Macro Canon IS ($1,000, street) would be a better choice.

Equality vs. Equivalence

Q. Am I correct in assuming that a full-frame 300mm lens used on my APS-C DSLR will provide the same angle of view as an APS-C 300mm lens?

A. Just as f/8 is f/8, 300mm is 300mm, and the angle of view of the two lenses would be the same on your camera body. But the two lenses produce different- sized image circles—the patches of light projected onto the sensors. A full-frame lens on an APS-C-sensor camera is no problem, as the lens’ image circle is, literally, more than big enough to cover the sensor. An APS-C lens on a full-frame body, though, would produce darkened edges (vignetting), as it doesn’t project a big enough image circle to cover the larger sensor.
