Hi gooseberry , gryphon

Thanks


Reno,

You mean pretty XMM ?


Geno,

What never jio ? I even msn you the night before liao.

The lens's focusing length is very short. During shooting, if I straghten my finger, I can touch the insect liao. How to shoot dradonfly , butterfly , grasshopper etc ? ......

For those type of insects, will need to get another 180mm Marco lens or get a 500D filter to add to my 100-400mm loh.



Errz,

You learn from that "N.E.W.B.I.E." can liao. Me anyhow shoot one
I don't mind you throw XMM onto me, I will use to both hands to catch
