Something waspish
by milamber
Not a wasp, or a hoverfly, possibly a Nomad Bee or a Cuckoo Wasp (Vespula austriaca). Any other suggestions?

Thank you David. That's kind of you to say. I did 'upgrade' to a proper 100mm macro lens a couple of weeks back, but still keep going back to the humble M 50 1.7 with tubes or teleconverter.
I can't get the images from the 100mm macro anywhere near close to those from the non macro 50mm, either hand held or with a tripod.
I've either got a particularly good 50mm or a slightly off 100mm! Judging by other pictures I've seen it's probably the former.
If I could just stretch to a DA 100mm......

Hi Charlotte
Lovely eyes - there were some requests for a close up of the eyes, but it's raining today which saves me the embarassment of not being able to get that close anyway! 50mm with 120mm of tubes perhaps

Funny how some topics in the Forum attract so much interest! Your macros are really starting to shine Chris - I always keep an eye open for them. Looking forward to lots of spectacular Butterfly shots from you this Summer!
