How close?.. If he had a booger we'd see it! LOL

Thanks mate.. as always

Cheers Supe.

Not as close as you see it, there is always some cropping involved, but I was pretty near to it!

**supraman54** · 29th June 2014

And the cropping made easier by good glass and a superb camera..

Will they need a spanner to pry that out of your hands when the 70D is serviced? LOL

No, lol..

I'll take my 70D. The 5D is clunky to use for macro work.

Spot on that mate, superb detail and one seriously close shot, but to be honest, you and your 70D are just as capable of a shot like that. I'm personally not convinced about FF bodies for Macro work. Crops are perfectly fine I think

.

If I ever get a FF, it'd be for landscape and longer range photography. I'd always keep a crop for macro.
