.
It's funny just how often we can get as close as we could possibly want to to the critters we photograph. [SIZE=0] . And of course the "challenge" that this presents is that we run up against the limitations of the minimum focus distance of our lenses. . Happens far more than many people seem to realize, with all sorts of different birds and mammals.

This is the kind of situation the Laowa 24mm Macro Probe lens would be great for!

.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
