Fiery Skimmer    Orthetrum villosovittatum

From my yard, I got a Canon FD adapter for my Oly EM-5II and the EVF allows me to easily focus stopped down using EVF plus focus peaking and with my old FD 200mm macro lens I have the equivalent of a 400mm f4 1:1 macro lens.  As a bonus the 5stop IS also works with any lens.  This shot taken in nice afternoon light.  This is a female.

Hi

A nice frame filling shot of this attractive critter - and the results your strange combination of equipment is certainly giving excellent result

A pleasure to see

All the best
Matthew

Lovely image - a dynamic vertical composition. A 400/4 macro lens sounds pretty good to me - the background shows how useful it is.
