I managed to get pretty close to a couple of these at A.Hayden this past Summer and I suspect this is where you found this one. I got close BUT NOT this friggin close:shock: Minimum focusing distance on the 200 F2.8? Wayne you better get some extension tubes so you can do a Mtcon macro on the Heron's eye:D Excellent work here ...wonderful detail.
