So, are we talking about a 105mm f/2.8 macro?

Obviously not doing the job you want it to do if you have to (yet
again) crop your images. The second image of the two is sh*t, why
bother posting it? Bin it.

I have to agree. I don’t see the point of cropping from a low res jpeg. The
result is going to to be messy, and this one is particularly bad.

What were you trying to do?

If you wanted a tight crop you should have done that to the RAW file in LR,
or the converted RAW in PS, but never to a JPEG.

Yup! Optically the Tamron waas fairly close, and weighs less. My
decision was based upon the sturdier construction. I tend to be rough on
my equipment.

It was not posted as a "see what a great image I maed."
It was posted for informational purposes.
BTW There was no point in getting closer, as the wasp decided to fly
after I took the first shot.

From the PSD. I think it's about 50% too heavy.

I am sorry to hear of your wife's being on dialysis. My late wife was on
dialysis for several months, and it was most difficult for both of us.
Fortunately, she then got a sibling transplant which functioned well
until her sad demise 34 years later. I wish your wife good luck.
