Plenty of these in the garden this year, feeding on the sedum flowers along with loads of newly emerged painted ladies and Red admirals. Possibly could have done with a tad more dof.
I love the detail in the proboscis and eye , more dof would have taken the ss too low (esp hand held) - and already on iso 800 - (film at 800 would be different..)
Am still wondering about which macro lens to go for - the sigma looks like a good option-
