Yes, it was with my tam 90. I've thought about picking up a copy of the DFA 100 macro, but I have no good reason to abandon my tam 90. She may not be quite as good as the DFA, but the tam has been extremely reliable and a joy to use.
I have the D FA 100mm F2.8 macro ( non WR )

I see no reason for you not to " dance with the one that brought you "

nice photos

as others who take the time to examine the fine work posted in the thread will discover, many different types of camera bodies and lenses can produce excellent photos of pollinators in action

The first wild flowers of the year are open, and the pollinators are hungry.

[ I continue to be amazed at the images posted in this thread since its start in October of 2016 and how posters have shown that such images can be achieved with all of these camera bodies and different lenses. Please continue to post what equipment was used to capture the images. Thanks to all contributors ]
