I'll add pics to the thread once accepted
I enjoy trying to get close as well but saying that I am getting a tamron 70 -300 with 1:2 macro next week more for birds than insects I am quite fairly pleased with some of the results I have got with the kit lens I got with the a200 but of course we are never satisfied with the results we get.
