2. Chequered swallowtail (Papilio demoleus). 400mm at f/16, 1/200s, ISO 640.

3. Blue tiger (Tirumala hamata). 400mm at f/16, 1/50s, ISO 640.

Amazing.  Especially the last one.  Not only for its artistry, but for its exposure specs. 
That's a heck of a hardware combination, endowed with a superb operator.

The IS system is really effective - no way I could have handheld at 268mm 1/30s or 400mm 1/50s without it.
