The EXIF says 1.2M, but I think it's more like 2-feet. EXIF distance info is notriously inaccurate. The specified minimum focus distance without the ET is 1.2M, so I think that I'm a bit closer, but not sure.

One great thing about using tele lenses for macros is that the working distance is generous and subjects, like bees, hardly notice you.
