These are wonderful shots edorf_71.

Guess the 80mm macro would yield better results or extension rings.

I wouldn't worry about that. I have the 80mm and it is indeed a special lens, but some of my favourite close up [sic] shots to date were taken with the 100-400mm:

Four-spotted Chaser dragonfly, Dorset, England, 2018

Female Emperor dragonfly laying her eggs in a water meadow drainage ditch, Dorset, England, 2018

I've also taken very pleasing shots with the 50mm f2 and the mcex-11 extension ring, and the 55mm-200mm zoom as well. The shot below was taken handheld at the "soft" end of the 55-200mm:

Emperor dragonfly, Dorset, England, 2018
