The 24-70L is an amazing lens and it's perfect for taking pictures of flowers. It is considered a macro, just barely, but that's what makes it great for shooting flowers. That and it's so stinking sharp!

Nice image, but I would have shot it a bit more stopped down to get more of that daisy in focus. Cool image though.

Also, get some Extention Tubes for that 24-70 and then its really a great flower/bug/macro lens!

I think in this last one you have too much space.a tighter crop on the daisy would benefit the shot, just me.Just to the side of the little yellow bud.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Chaz, What extension tube would you suggest with the 24-70? I know everyone suggests the Kenko but I would probably rather just get one of Canons. Not sure I need 3 tubes. I just got this lens too and I love it.
