It really is a nice lens. Better to stay just under 300mm in macro. I usually try to stay at the 180 setting though.

Just to raise your anticipation level a little more. LOL

Thank you kindly. It was really spur of the moment.
I believe it is munching on a small hover fly. Yummy. LOL
Might be a strand of spider web as a side order.

Found this guy on one of the tomato plants. He suddenly flew up on the wife's shoulder. Guess he wanted to show what was on the menu.

I've had PS for a number of years. But I'm still newbie. Thought I'd take a try if you don't mind.

I just use a Dremel with a diamond bit to make a factory looking notch. I then have a marker that matches the color of the lens, to blacken the notch.

Thank you. It's rare to catch these sitting still. The cool temps and rain made it stay still. Next time I'll try using the full 1:1 setup.

Managed to last out the storm hanging onto my tomatoes.

If you don't mind manual focus, the Tamron 90/2.5 is a good lens.

Sharp and good color. You must have been REAL close with that 50.
