p.1 #1200/1.8 and 5D II does butterflies!
Visited the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach last week, and shot these (hand held) with the 5D Mk II and 200/1.8 + 1.4x TC .... so I am having to crop these heavily, but the 5D II allows me to do this. I could not have take these with a 12MP body - not without a longer lens.

Don't see many from this legendary lens. Thanks for sharing.
I'm with Dan on the pics. I really like the comp and light in # 3.

Thanks guys! I wonder if my XTi with the extra reach but with less megapixels could have done a better job, as I will still have to crop quite a bit to get frame-filling and clutter-free images.
