Matt, thanks for the hint in taking the butterfly shoots. I have also tried
the 1.4X-A with 65-116+135/4.5 the result was fine and I don't think there
will be any problem. But with longer focal length and one stop darker it
will be difficult for available light shooting, for flash it would be ok.

a long macro like the 135/4.5 is ideal. I learned that the butterflies are
least active in the late afternoon (when they are in shadow), which makes it
easier to shoot long exposures.

extension tube or accessory lens. I do have a question: since my return from
Costa Rica, I tried the Olympus 1.4x teleconverter with the 65~116 &
135/4.5. It seems to work fine; plenty of clearance. Any problem with that?
It would provide even longer working distance.
