A few evenings ago I noticed a dragonfly in my garden, just after I had setup the camera traps for the mice and toads. So my favourite cameras and lenses couldn't be used. I decided to use the Sigma 150mm on an EOS M6II. Together with the flash it wasn't an ergonomic combination, but it did manage to get all the shots I wanted :) This also was one of the few times I missed having an EVF on the M6II.

And a short video of it sitting on the fence in the wind:
