Thanks Daacon, Its becos of the distance from the subject, more than a meter as the mantis itself is about 4 to 5 inches in length, greater DOF.

Originally posted by Ron Boggs Knowing that lens pretty well...for a 4" Praying Mantis you must have been back more than a meter...maybe a meter and a half?
Ron, you were absolutely right. You knew the lens better than I do
Can't resist throwing in one shot through that same lens but quite a few miles away. I miss that lens something aweful and I have a very nice FA*200...which says a lot for that A*200.
Is there a grat difference between FA*200 and A*200 macro????? Hmmm envious of your lens
Originally posted by JMR Good shots, like the last three especially.
