Hare and Damselfly for me, what a great set.
For me too.
It amazes me how some insects can look so metallic!
Cheers.

all very good but must say the Hare stands out as the best for me. a lens i think i want when i see images like this just not sure that it would get the use to justify the cost
I had to think long and hard about buying this lens - I 'almost' bought it on a number of occasions but for one reason and another never did. Yes, it was expensive, but I have to admit it's worth every penny. Having said that it suits the type of photography that I enjoy - I sold an ultra wide-angle, the two DA plastic fantastic primes and a 50-200WR to help meet the costs of this so was very apprehensive at such a reduction in my lens bag. Do I miss them? Not with the DA*300 as part of my kit!
It is an exceptionally sharp lens and takes the 1.4x very well but I suggest you also keep an eye out for a single macro tube (or do as I did and butcher a cheap "A" contact teleconverter) as it will allow you to focus a lot closer while being a good distance away from your subject. This means you can more or less leave the macro at home if you want.
Taken on my K-3II with the DA* 300mm and small extension tube.
