Enjoyed taking this photo with my old telephoto on my new camera. I could have gotten closer with my DA 55-300, but where's the fun in that? I did crop a bit.

Is this the same butterfly? I'm not sure.

Nice shots. Why did you say you could have get closer with the PLM? Because of fast focusing vs manual focusing I suppose?

Thanks for the comment. The old lens (Super Takumar 300mm F.4) has a minimum focus of about 18 feet.

I don't think they are the same butterfly.
