Butterfly world ?

Going down to B.W. Monday. I am planning on only taking 1 body and lens. I hope to finally shoot some hummers in addition to butterflies even if they are in a large aviary.

Which lens 100mm Macro or 70-200 f2.8 , Flash ? No tripods or monopods allowed for some reason. Any other insight is welcomed if you have been there or a place like it.

If you have any pictures to share from there post them please.

Thanks

Definitely the 70-200 if you only want one lens. You won't be able to get macro shots of the butterflies but you will get a chance at the hummers and whole butterflies.

Bring the flash, go for high speed sync with the hummers.

Have fun!!! I can't wait to see what you come home with

Is it the 70-200 IS? Since no tripod or monopod, the IS will come in handy. Definitely bring your flash.
Ideally, bring both lenses just in case.

Thanks for the suggestions Dazzle and Fee. Will definetly bring my flash. No IS on this lens. Only room for one lens. I am going down to the Dolphins game and the Miami area for a couple days in my friends vette. Between two sets of clubs, overnight bag and a beer cooler space is at a premium. large camera bag has to stay behind this time.

what about a shorter lens... what if 70mm is too long for there? Im only asking because the one up here in MA., a 70-200 is too long.. might wanna bring a shorty just in case!
