I was watching it, on the rocks, and it seemed to set, like a dog would and then it just dived straight in. The trout was speared on its upper beak. I was surprised at the size of the fish and it just swallowed it. You can see the lump in its throat, in the last shot.
I wasn't expecting to see or capture it.
Glad I did though.

I was down by the river this morning and spotted this lad, or lady.
Managed to get a couple of shots that were ok.
Very poor light, so not the greatest, but nice to see and get anyway.
Here they are

I seem to remember reading about that on here before.
Is it a de-glassed zoom with a reversing ring and another lens attached to the front ?
The mount end becoming the front element ?

I just realized that As photos on here are limited in size, you cant see the detail in the eye, here is the last shot of the wasp with a crop of its eye, in the upper right corner

To be honest, the only reason I bought the sigma was the price. I usually buy 2nd hand anyway so it didn't bother me at all.
I cant see much difference between them unless you feel the need for wr.
