Pappy when I grow up I want to shoot Dragonflies and Flutterbys just like you. Absolutely wonderful Alex.

[Alex Paul]

Thank you very much Joe :) :) May we never grow up ;).... You're comments mean the world to me pal. I'm glad you liked these....... Take care.....
Oh.... I almost forgot... Some of these were shot with the 70-200 f4, a 1.4xTC and Kenko tube.... I decided to take the lighter artillery out... I'd forgotten how sweet the little 70-200 is. I'll have to use this combination more often..... Take care Joe...

You've got some pretty butterflies there, Alex! I was out today shooting butterflies at a butterfly garden. Now I just have to pp them all! :)

[Jerry]

Sorry Pappy, couldn't find a couple, I lke'em all (+: Could you tell me the order you place that equipment in?? Kenko first or 1.4 converter?? May seem like a nob question, but I'm having a grey moment kinda day LoL and can't think which order would logically work better )+: Thanks

[Alex Paul]

Thanks a lot Mickey :) This MKII is sweet... It has so much better noise control over the older 1D... Loving it... Glad you like the shots..... Take care

Thanks Kevin :) I have so many buzzing around here right now I should spend an entire day with shooting them as a mission... Most are flittering around so much I am having a tough time nailing them... I look forward to seeing your yield.... Take care pal.....Alex

Hi Jerry.... Sorry it has been a while since I checked the post... Your question is an excellent one... I had to sort it out myself a while ago... The tubes work much better at the camera end.. It helps maintain decent autofocus. If it is placed between the TC and lens it tends to hunt for focus a lot more... I don't think there is any difference in IQ but it sure helps performance.... Glad you liked these pal.... I appreciate the nice comment:) Take care

Great bugs Alex, looks like the new gear is working out just fine.

[Alex Paul]

Thanks Bobby :)... I love this thing... I noticed the White Balance is really showing colors a lot more accurately than with the older 1D... Mickey did me justice with getting me into the upgrade.... Thanks again Bobby.... Glad you liled these..... Take care...

Great bugs Alex, looks like the new gear is working out just fine.
