David, I NEVER TIRE of your OBSESSION - just enjoy it and sharing is the way forward

These are beautiful - I shall go looking for a Migrant Hawker today

I see your common Darter is less red than my ones posted ? M & F is it ?

I see the micro system is coming up trumps again.
I know it's lightweight but do you still need a tripod/mono-pod.just to steady things a bit.
Love the Darter - a classic pose.

Well apart from ergonomics and AF on BIF I've always reckoned the E-M5 especially for fairly static objects - the IQ is amazing. I haven't used a support for the EM5 so far - maybe in the Winter months with low light I may have to.

Another one from this morning, this time with the Leica 14-150mm + E-M5:
