A few with the RF 1.4 teleconverter attached. I find it very helpful for small subjects up close. At longer distances the bare lens with moderate cropping will usually work. I would use it more if it didn't restrict the zoom range so much.

Thanks! It always helps to have an attractive subject, and this is one of my favorite bees. I don't know the species, but I got several confirmations of Melissodes as the genus on iNaturalist.k the

At 700mm with the t/c I think the magnification ratio is about .46, almost 1:2. The bee and the wasp were both cropped to around 13-14mp, but that's not a problem at all with the R5. And that's at 1.3m, so scaring the subject is rarely a problem.

Not the best but a little story behind it - On holiday in Canada, driving along and out the corner of my eye spot something sat on a fir branch 'omg - it's a tiny owl'. . . . . no other cars about so stop, reverse back and pull off the road, jump out open boot (trunk for our American friends) open camera bag - put lens on - hoping it's still there - yes! take a shot. . . . few steps closer another. . . . closer still and. . . . . gone! Moral of the story - keep the camera set up on the back seat lol.

Northern Saw-Whet Owl, I think?

Possible - thought it might be a 'Boreal Owl' after a quick google search.
