Almost there with the bees

I took this set with the A1 and the 100 - 400 lens and no tc. The wind was light. I think that this combination will be my future bee hunting set up, but I want to try once more with the 85mm to be sure.

Thanks, Joe, "Bombus rufocinctus" (red banded bee) according to StanMac.

Nothing wrong with these, Mike! I have started to enjoy "macro" with my 200~500 Nikon. A lot more working distance for active insects! I think your 100~400 will continue to be a good choice. I've thought about using an extension tube with my lens, but haven't been able to find mine. Maybe in storage!

Thanks, Chief, I did another run with my 85mm, but the result required significant cropping.

Best bee set so far, Mike. I'll wait for the next 85mm set, though.
Thanks, Ken, I think that this will be my bee outfit.

Nice Mike, new bee for me. I've been meaning to try my Canon 100-400L for bees and butterflies but haven't gotten to it yet.
