I have never seen anything like it Shame about the focus it looks to have interesting iridescent colours.
Keep on his trail, you may get a better one

Amazing shots They sure are co-operative in your neck of the woods .
I really like the jumping spider and the robberfly with his lunch.

I am still coming to grips with my new Sigma 180mm. Been getting some good shots, I just need some new material.

Great shots He is definately having lunch.
Very good sharpness but the lighting is a bit harsh, you need a diffuser
Try covering your pop up flash with a tissue.

These roos are wild and have learned to co-exist with the people of this small town. Every house has a roo living in the front yard.

The first shot was taken with the DA*300 and the other 2 were taken with the 77mm Ltd

No.1 is really sharp considering the TC. The second one looks like a robber fly :

Please let us now how good that Sigma is.

I'm wondering to buy one as well - with a 1.4 converter.

Since I'm doing so much macro as I am - I wonder if this is better than a 300mm DA*........
I took it out for a couple of shots this afternoon, I only fired off a dozen or so shots when the rain started.

If you going to do mainly macro then the Sigma 180 is a little easier to handle than the DA300, You really need a tripod when doing closeup work with the 300 but its a superb lens none the less

Well done, They are difficult little beggers to catch in flight Shame you can't see his face.

Nifty setup Don
I have something very similar which i brought at my local automotive supplier for 100bucks
It has an invertor and a couple of cig adapters, also an air compressor and can be charged from the car when you are travelling. I take it everywhere and is very handy for charging batteries for your camera gear and phone.
