Jun 06, 2011 21:23 | #1 I've been pretty much just a birdie photographer but figure I really don't need a lot more bird images. I recently had a request for wild flower shots at a state park. What is everyone's favorite wild flower lens and why? Right now, I'm getting by with my 100-400 and 18-55 IS lenses. They get the job done but I'm sure other lenses would do the job better.

I have also used 100-400mm lens with extensions tubes for similar effect.
