In past I had a Sigma 150 2.8 Macro and I couldn't get that super big shots of insects with their eyes like having 1000 mirrors.
Someone told me that it was because I bought a 1:1 lens, and that I should buy a 5:1 lens that had more magnification.
But seen these examples here below, these are also decent no ?
How close can you get for macrowork with this lens or do you macro-photographers think mostly 5:1 for the real magnified stuff?
