St Marks fly (Male)

Well I went out to experiment with the Raynox 250 on the 100mm, not sure of the magnification but I only had about an inch to an inch & quarter working space in front of the lens at the minimum focus point (I know I could've wound it back a touch, but whats the point of having it if not going to maximise a bit). Anyway the only really useable I managed with it on were of the male St Marks fly.
I think I will just stick to the tubes for the time being.

Thanks for the comments, yep quite a hairy fella, these are not quite as common as the females and normally quite flighty but he was a biggy as such, when I first seen him come in thought I was about to get my first robber fly.
I was wishing I had my tubes on for him rather than the raynox, not good trying something new out when you really want to get the shot.
