Folks -

Went out to hunt some birds yesterday, couldn't get anywhere near the 
little guys, so I took out my frustration (and extension tube) by 
pointing the 400 Telyt at something within range:

http://gallery.leica-users.org/album446/DRAGONFLY_4680_crop_2

(20D, ISO 800, 1/250th, f/8 w/ monopod)

It's almost the proverbial "gnat's eyelash" that I sometimes hear 
about...

In fact, Ted once chided me about posting another dragonfly snap that 
was shot from too far away; the tube (and I know there are folks who 
get even more involved with macroing-out the Telyt) seems to do the 
trick.
