Superb Matt, I'm sure that Panasonic with the Raynox is equally as good if not better than the Sigma 150mm for this type of shot anyway

You know, I had a feeling this was one of your shots Matt just by looking at the thumbnail,and suspected it was a Panny shot too

Excellent image, stacks of detail.

thanks Roger and Mark.



Roger, I also think the Panasonic/Raynox combo deals with shots like this better than the Sigma 150.



Mark, I can't resist close-ups of hoverflies I've not had many hoverflies in my garden until quite recently, so I'm making the most of them now.
