I went down to the turtle pond today. It's the time of year for dragonflies ...

Super photo! How close were you and what lens did you use?

I need a good (but also fairly inexpensive) macro lens for my Rebel XSi. I prefer a short tele zoom. I wish I could find one like the 28-85 I used on my AE-1 program all those years ago (I bought it a quarter of a century ago -- good lord!).

Thank you! I think I was close enough to touch this one, and using macro mode -- it's a big critter. The camera is a Panasonic Lumix TZ-4, with a built in wide-angle, 10x zoom lens -- not bad for a pocket-sized point-and-shoot.
