You know how I know these are great shots? Because I don't like being close to bugs and looking at these, I'm way TOO close!!! <grin>

Thanks for sharing, Pat.

Hey Pat these are great. Are you using the 100 on these? Yes of course you are (Why can't I get this good a result)

Thanks Gene for your feed back, Only you know how close they look.
As the shooter I am always thinking not close enough could be better , Then if you like them thats all one can ask for

Thank you gene.

Hi Rob thanks mate for your feed back.

Yes it is the 100mm I use I also add a diopter + 2 on the front but if I remember these are just the 100mm take .
I love taking insect you just never know what protective cover they have around them till you see them close up .

Again thanks Rob.
