I definitely received some strange looks from my neighbours as I crawled around in the communal garden at the back of my flat this morning. It was my mission to get a hover... and they were everywhere... but I just couldn't do it - they were frustratingly always too fast for me and my raynox.

The lens is great but requires you to be about 2-3 inches away from the insect and most of the time this scares them away - I see another lens in my future...perhaps the Canon MP-E 65mm :naughty:

Anyway, managed to get the following... C&C welcome :)
