Thanks. I just waited until the bee buried their head in the dandelion, then moved in for the shot. I find it's not too hard to get in range with the Dreamer because it has a nice working distance of about 3 inches or so. I also cropped in from the original photo..Great shot with lots of detail. How did you get so close? I also use the laowa 100mm 2x macro lens but with a sony a7rii

Yes, same for me, it is hard to nail the focus most of the time. The wind, along with the movement of the insects makes things very frustrating at times. I just don't shoot if there's more than a light breeze, unless I can find a calm spot or strong stems that don't move much. Dandelions are good for that situation.I do love the lens, but i still struggle to get real sharp and correct focus photos. I think 95% of my photos can go straight into the bin. Biggest problem is not the lens or me but the wind. I also don't use a flash when i go out for macro shots and shoot only handheld. Usually i go for f/8 or f/11. I also use it sometimes on my sony a6000, works fine on that one too even without image stabilisation.
