Thinking heavily about getting the 100mm macro lens ...

After trying to shoot macro with the 55-200, I'm thinking even more about the 100mm.

Anyway, here's a sample in case you're wondering what turned out. I think I overstopped (shot this at f/29) and had too slow a shutter for this fast moving little critter. Next time I think I'll stop up to 14 or so and see if it works better. Also having a difficult time getting this lens to focus on anything. Anyway, enough excuses ...

yep no rescuing an overexposed shot, better to underexpose. 100mm would be a good choice.
