Mucking about with extension Tubes, I gutted a 2x AF TC I have to make an AF 36mm tube, works well, then added it to my Pentax FA*200mm, to get even closer I added a Sigma apo 2x TC so ended up with a 400mm telemacro, still, even tho its AF I still go back to MF to get it just in the right field. I was about 5ft away from this guy, he's about an Inch long.

Thanks guys, I really like dragonflys, they are actually great subjects to shoot, as they tend to get accustom to you being there, and after a while will come back repeatedly to the same spot and not be afraid of you, if you just sit and wait. Again, thanks for looking
