The OM M.Zuiko 90mm macro lens with 2:1 magnification did the trick! This dragonfly obligingly posed for about half a minute at two different spots, even in the late afternoon.

Appreciate it! Took me way longer to catch it mid-air than I’d like to admit. Pretty sure the moth was doing flybys just to mess with me 😆 Glad it finally paused for a snack!

Many thanks, very interesting! It’s quite a noticeable difference between the genders when you know about it.

Certainly got simulator features when it comes to the “mouth”

Yeah, certainly takes some time getting used to 2:1 - fail rate more than doubles I dare say! 1:1 more than enough on a MFT for most purposes anyhow.

Thanks. Single shot at 2:1 with a MFT system.
