Thank you all, I'm very pleased that you like my damselfly Smile
Poilu i didn't uploaded macros on my website yet, i'm still missing some species determinations, but you can check them on flickr if you want.

That is a good series, this is another area of photography where my admiration goes to all who are able to do this... as for some reason I don't have the nervous system to allow it. Your bug series is excellent.

Question about the bellows Takumar - does it only work for macro, of can you use the bellows-tak to focus further, e.g. infinity?

On my Nikon camera coupled with a m42->fmount adapter and a bellows, it focuses beyond infinity - but i don't find it too appealing to use it this way, afterwords it is a lens optimized for close-ups.
