Feb 17, 2009 22:56 | #3857 Greg_C wrote in post #7349357 Thanks, Great work on the MP-E shot, doing better than me to get them in flight with that lens. I cheat and use AI servo.:p Haha, sneaky. What ever works for you though. The MP-E is a great lens once you get used to it, and get your lighting right. I'd really like try it on a FF camera to get that little bit extra room too.

The only "obvious demand" is that we all forget it ever existed! Hmmm, I've been watching that 16-35... cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

No matter how slowly, and quietly I approach them they'll always fly off before I can get within focus distance. That being said, I've never tried shooting them earlier in the day when they're less active. Yet.

I was asking because I routinely buy from the US...so if US prices are not going up, then it makes a difference to me. Kristin

The ones I've shot have tended to be those that perch on a branch or rock. Shooting them in flight can be very frustrating Greg

It was very cool. The filters are coloured by hand dipping, no wonder they're so expensive. Michael
