Thanks, Chris. I've found that 2 - 4 ft is the ideal distance. Any
closer, they fly away for a while, then usually return. With that in
mind, it is just a matter of selecting a focal length to give a proper
image on the sensor. With the Fuji, 90, 100, and even 135mm will work.
My preference is 90-100.

They are lovely colours, Jim. Does the focal length help with avoiding scaring
away the little creatures?

I've always felt that a 90mm lens would work well for butterflies, flowers,
etc., as well as for portraits. Moose's KEH transactions pushed me over the
edge. I traded in a seldom used Leica lens for a late SN Leica Elmarit-R 90mm.
The light was not as nice today as yesterday, but here is my first effort with
the lens. In the future, I will probably stop down another stop to help with
the wing tips.
