I just attend a presentation by Bill Maryott on photographing irises. He
stated that any of the popular cameras are fine for the type of photography
we are doing. He recommended a 55 mm Macro, a tripod and an 80B filter to
correct Kodak film for the blue/violet/purple colors.
I have a Minolta Maxuum 7000 (old auto everything) with a 35-70 lens that
has a macro feature. Works fine for me. I put on Aperture priority, adjust
aperture until speed is 1/60 to 1/45 and hand shoot. Not sophisticated as my
photography knowledge is very limited but works fine. Just purchased 80B
filter so can't say about that yet. I do know that 100 ASA Kodacolor Kodak
film is rarely even close to accurate with blue/violet/purples.
