As has been mentioned the 100 is an outstanding choice and with the use of tubes will get very up close and personal... 180 is my choice just for the additional working distance...And with a couple of tubes added you are in their face with room to spare. As was mentioned Damsels are very skiddish... Here is an example of what the increase in working distance can do.

Good technique is key but working distance helps a great deal.....Take care....Alex
