WOW! Yeah, Richard, I see what you mean lens wise. OMG, you still have Buttys? WE just had a freezing rain blizzard. I'm envious of your weather'; alas, I cannot handle high humidity.

Love the Title. When I first saw it I thought " who is Canon ? " LMAO. I just woke up so at this point I am not the sharpest tack in the bunch. lol. This is extraordinary. That looks like a 1:1 ratio macro. Really impressive. What lens did you get for the canon ? That is a beautiful butterfly. I dont think I have ever seen one like it. If I did, I probably thought it was a monarch since I wouldnt be that close. lol. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing all this technical info about the cameras with us. Very useful. HUGSSSSS
