Hi Antero. At first again many thanks for the points.

Unfortunately I only found this brillant picture in your folder recently. Which macro lens did you use for this? Do you still have the details of the aperture, shutter speed ... The picture is really very good and I am really jealous after taking countless pictures of bees on my balcony, of which 99% have become absolute junk. Unfortunately I don't have a macro lens. I tried different lenses (24 mm, 28 mm, 50 mm, 70 - 200mm), but none of the pictures comes close to the quality of your picture. In order to catch the fast movements of the animals, I set the ISO and shutter speed up. This made the results very grainy. Your picture, on the other hand, looks like my ISO 100 pictures, without coarse grain. Do you have any tips or specific camera settings values ​​on how to achieve better results with my lenses?
