I've been out to a state wildlife management area three times in the past
week, looking for species of butterflies that utilize wetland sedges for
larval host plants. Yesterday was a good day--lotsa sedge-obligates were
nectaring on common milkweed on the roadsides. See: <
https://wisconsinbutterflies.org/butterfly/sightings> for July 7. Gear is
a Sony NEX-7 with a Sony 55-210 lens and 26 mm of extension. Trips were to
see the butterflies; photography was secondary, and I have to say that I'm
not comfortable with the NEX-7 at all. Poor focus on the hickory
hairstreak is an example. Next time out I'll try the OM4T, Tammy 60-300 on
the 65-116 OM auto extension tube, T-32 flash, and 1-11 or 1-12 focusing
screen. That's a proven combination for me.
