Nice image of this skipper. I like it. Very colorfull. I will be getting an extension tube set this Christmas, that I will try on my 18-105mm Nikor zoom lens. This should work fine for butterflies and large insects where the chance of getting real close is lower. #1218118Kathleen Brennan December 21, 2009
