The Cloudless Sulphur persists through the cold and warm days, returning daily to the periwinkles and assorted flowers I have attempted to keep alive through the recent cold spell. His wings worn from winds and perhaps cat scrapes, he flits about the yard in regular routes.
I have been using the old manual 180mm 2.8 lens with the 2X extender attached, using it in manual mode, hit and miss.
This is the only photo of the sulphur out of about a dozen I took today. Manual focus difficult, exposure ever more so. In DX mode, with the 1.5 magnification factor, this lens combination makes about a 540 5.6 lens. Even with the TC-201 reasonably sharp if used stopped down and in bright light. Depth of field almost nil, very narrow focus depth. All metal and glass, no plastic, very heavy.
