Thanks much. The minimal FD is about a foot or so.

Thanks, I love shooting macro with 200mm and 300mm lenses, you get a great minimum FD allowing you not to disturb the bugs....

thanks much! the Canon 500D is the best macro adapter you can possibly get.
they are kind of rare now, but you can pick one on ebay occasionally.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of insects (i.e. spiders) but very well done. I especially enjoyed the photos of the snail.
