A couple of shots with the new D500. The Carpenter Bee shots were the most amazing for me. The AF and ISO performance on this camera is pretty sweet. Definitely a plus for macro. Really looking forward to trying it out on Dragonflies next.
Not sure if the EXIF is showing on the Bee shot:
D500, Tokina 100mm macro, f5, 1/4000, ISO1250

Here is something to try. I have an old 105mm with an extension tube. I took that tube and added it to my old 70-300 lens. I was able to stay back a good 3 feet from the subject( for my bee and spider haters}_DSC5221.jpg_DSC5223.jpg_DSC5227.jpg and get decent shots. these were all hand held. A mono pod or even tripod should be used. Also this lens isn't as sharp as most.

The big leaping spider has taken up residence in the anti-ant well of my hummingbird feeder. It is having no trouble snagging bees there
