It's coming up to that time of year when RHS Wisley does the "Butterflies in the Glasshouse" thing and as this is the first time since I joined the DSLR fraternity, I'd like to try to get some better shots than I've previously managed (with a Panny TZ40 compact and not very good results!)
Obviously, I will be attempting to shoot butterflies in a warm & humid indoor environment and I am aware of precautions to take to try to avoid condensation.
Anyhow, after a bit of research, it seems that the optimum lens for this would be a 100mm F/2.8L Macro IS USM but I'm not sure my credit card can stretch to one of those!
The question is, am I going to be sorely disappointed by using any one of the lenses I already have (see my sig, below). I suppose I could try to nurture my GAS a bit and buy something else more suitable, but I reckon anything more than a couple of hundred quid is going to hurt.
Any advice?
