Thanks for the kind words, Moose. Yes, it has been fun.
I recall your mention of magnetic attachment, but I never bothered to
find out the details. These look interesting. Might be a good investment.

I've been enjoying your series of bee portraits. "Conflict" is my fav,
so far.

Thanks, Chris. My Pentax 55/1.8 gives me the same reach as the
normal zoom, and is a lot lighter and less bulky. But, after copying
Moose, I do screw on an Oly 40cm close-up lens.
I'm happy you've been having so much fun, and getting results that
please you, with the achromatic C-U lens.

I was kind of frustrated today. When I approached the Buddleia, I
saw a humming bird trying to get nourishment from these small blooms,
and I was set up for closeups. Before I could reconfigure, he gave
up and left, for good. But, the bees were everywhere.
That's a reason I use magnetic filter adapters for my C-U lenses. I
can pop one on or take it off in a second. NO fumbling with screw
threads.
They seem expensive. For me that lasted 'til I first used them in the
field, since which they have seemed like a bargain. :-)
