		dukeofdoom on June 7, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The firefly population could be declining I get a lot of fireflies in my backyard. I have a Trumpet vine that they like to get it on on. I tried to film some firefly sex with mixed results. Can someone recommend a lens for m4/3 thats good in low light and good for macro.

I use an Olympus 50mm f/2 on a m43 adapter and it works great. Unusually fast for a macro.

Yeah fireflies are very hard to take pictures of, the light always looks much duller.

A fast EF macro lens with a speedbooster would probably work well.
