Nice shot MXverteran it looks very much like our Aussie Huntsman but a little smaller.

I was out chasing bees also and most went the way of the recycle bin but i did get a couple that were ok.
Taken with the D-FA 100mm macro

Perhaps he is a Nikon user

I got an invite to the NSW v QLD rugby league match at the Sydney Olympic Stadium and decided to take along my DA*300. I was seated in a corporate box otherwise i wouldn't have contemplated taking the camera
It was a night game and we were way up the back.
This is a wonderful lens

Whilst at a drinks reception on HMS Warrior, I managed to 'escape' to take some photographs (some of these images are posted under 'Your Photos').

I had taken a series of shots with the DA* 16-50 on the main deck with the lens hood attached.

Conscious that I was supposed to be talking to the hosts and other guests, I quickly went below decks to see if there were any good shots to be had.

I took a few at very slow shutter speed and then resorted to using the camera's built-in flash (having no flashgun with me).

All images seemed fine on the LCD but once uploaded to the computer, I realised that most of the below decks shots had a strange area of dark shadow, centrally at the bottom of each image.

In my haste to take some more photographs and return to the drinks reception, I had left the lens hood in place and thus each photograph taken with the flash has a neat petal shaped area of shadow

I will not make that mistake again (hopefully).
I have made that mistake also. And i also found even with the hood removed you still get a shadow although not as pronounced.
I make a note that if i ever take the 16-50 out then the flash goes into the bag with it.

I can vouch for the 322RC2 its a solidly built piece of kit and holds my K20+grip +bigma on my 190Xprob with little effort.

Can you post a pic of the 804RC2, and how much it weighs please.

Thanks.
Was using the Tamron 90mm F2/8 Macro.
Thats weird I viewed it in photome and it says the focal length is 85mm :

Are you sure you didn't lose 5mm off that lens somewhere

Wow, thats your best yet i really like it. I would have like to see the bee directly over the flower but they are not always co-operative. Great shot.

What lens did you use, the exif says 85mm @ f19 :
