when working with live subjects, the extension of the lens barrel is not
the issue as
to whether they will be "scared off", what is key is the so called working
distance and that
is determined by the focal length of the lens. Longer lens focal length
means greater working distance for a given magnification.

This lens is available under a wide variety of brands. I had the Panagor
version.
Didn’t like the long throw and the lens would get so long it would scare
off the critter you were trying to focus on. (Obviously not an issue for
subjects that don’t fly or jump away.

Upgraded from it to a Vivitar Series 1 Bokina and then to the Tokina
version. If it is prone to mechanical issues, maybe I should sell it
while
it is still in mint condition.

Already bought a replacement for my defunct Bokina macro lens. So far,
I'm
very satisfied with the performance, spec, and build quality. Its
branded
ELICAR V-HQ MACRO MC 90mm F2.5 but supposedly its made in Japan by
Komine.
Its a KA mount, has nice multicoatings, and seems to be as sharp as the
Tokina was.
Whats better than the tokina, is this goes directly from infinity to
1:1,
whereas the tokina
required adding an adapter to go from 1:2 to 1:1.
Heres a sample at f9 full size and a crop of full size.
