Do you have to do much cropping with these images?

Also - thought you might like to see this little critter I managed to photograph this evening - with the XD50mm and 1.4x converter:

A nice sharp image from the 500mm and 1.4x convertor.

I probably wrongfully gave the impression that the Bigma wouldn't give good results on Dragonflies at full 500mm zoom. Although I try to keep off full zoom for them as I usually get a sharper photo it is possible as Dave mentioned to get good results at 500mm.

Here's one from my Bigma at full zoom. ISO 400, F9, 1/160 secs.

Can't remember how much I cropped it but it has definitely been cropped
