Message: <blockquote data-quote="RAH" data-source="post: 1552620" data-attributes="member: 5834">That's a very nice bee picture! From what I have read, I've been under the impression that the EX-25 doesn't add much more close-up ability to the 70-300, for various optical reasons (e.g. it already focuses very close, etc), as opposed to the 40-150, where it gives a lot more close-up ability. Is this true? I have never even tried the EX-25 on my 70-300 because it seemed why bother, since you can get VERY close with the 70-300 alone.I am mentioning this because are you sure you cannot get the same shots with the 70-300 all by itself? I have a feeling you might be making things more difficult than you need to by adding the EX-25 to the 70-300.</blockquote>
