For insects a 200 Macro is definitely the no. 1 choice. It is great for flowers as well. The working distance and perspective means it is easier to control the background and excact camera placement becomes less critical the longer the focal lenght. And you don't scare away the critters by going too close. Save the close-up filters for the shorter focal lenghts if you plan eto use them for macro as well. P�l
