April 27

Tailed Jay - Graphium Agamemnon

I went back to the Butterfly Exhibit at the San Diego Safari Park yesterday.
Having tried several lenses, I have come to the conclusion that the best lens for shooting butterflies is the
AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED on a crop body. Sometimes cheaper lenses do a better job.

Nikon D700 ,AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
