Really well done Chistine. How you or Rob locked onto a knat is beyond me.

I had to be in today waiting for Kenko 1.4 and 2x to arrive. So having sn your post ..................... I must have spent a good 2 hours chasing small flies around the garden. Due to the wind none would hover in one place for longer than a micro second. So no pics I'm afraid. Perhaps I need to change my mind on the lens as I was trying to be flash with 105mm, 12mm tube and 2x converter to max the magnification . Snag is dof is non existant with that lot, so unless they enter even the zone of soft focus you cannot see them in the viewfinder.

No hoverflys yet but when they arrive they will be a more tempting subject. Tricky, but I feel easier than a knat.

Cloud arrived at the same time the converters were delivered, but fingers crossed I may get a test on the moon later tonight.

Don
