Today I took the 70-200 for a walk by the river and was entertained by this butterfly . The good thing is that because of the length of the lens the built in speedlight works ok ...

    Maybe when you ozzies get as good as the all-blacks at rugby the butterflies might be more attracted to you ! Only joking , I'm a "springbok " living in NZ and don't watch rugby at all .......

    Maybe I should send one over with a pin holding it to a piece of polystyrene ! But I think the East coast should be wet enough for butterflies shouldn't it ?
