Could be. This is an infinity-corrected objective, so it is designed to
leave the optical corrections to other parts of the optical path.

I tried it in front of a FA* 200/4 macro on the K-5, which was not a
good idea. The 645FA 200/4 is a lot better. There's still a fair bit of
odd colour rendition in the OOF areas, but the stacking eliminates most
of that.

Re: PESO - Beetle

[Jostein Øksne]

Good question, Mark. Beetle's life size is 3-4 mm and image chip is 44 mm. The 
posted pic is uncropped. Eyeballing it, I'd say the beetle's image reach across 
about two thirds of the frame, like 30 mm or thereabouts. So a magnification 
between 8 and 10x somewhere?

It is indeed a Japanese Beetle, the scourge of anyone who loves roses,
hibiscus and other flowering plants.  in addition to the beetles
devastating our flowers and shrubs, their grubs destroy lawns.  Nasty
little bugs.

That is, however, a fine image.

After photographing, I recommend you crush it between your thumb and 
forefinger. That produces a satisfying crackling sound and saves a tree.

Nice photo but as noted, a destructive beetle! Good practice nonetheless.

Have no idea what type of beetle this is - how many million species of

Any help on species would be appreciated.

It's a Japanese Beetle:

Another alien species and quite a destructive one apparently.

Uninspired title.

Have no idea what type of beetle this is - how many million species of
beetles are there? He's about twice the size of a lady bug. I rather
liked the iridescence (which I suspect would be spectacular in the
sun) and the little white tufts on his sides:

Any help on species would be appreciated.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
