AF? with my MP-E 65mm lens?

I got this new lens and it gives a new definition to AF - Absolutely Fantastic! I just wish the magnification would show on Exif data. In case you didn't know the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 doesn't have AF (auto focus)
Here are a couple of photos I took hand held with my new macro lens 580ex flash and my 5D with no cropping just resized with a little USM

I have no idea what it is

Nice work! You'll love the MPE. It's amazing.

I think the first one is a katydid. I don't know anything about the rest.

A little tip: The effective aperture scales with the magnification. So, at 5x, f/16 (your last shot), you'll be getting TONS of diffraction (something like the equivalent of f/60!). I never shoot above f/9 when I'm at 2x, f/7.1 to 3x, and f/5.6 throughout the rest of the range.

apart from 'Micro Moth' they seem a bit oversaturated for my taste. #1 is a Cricket nymph, very fancy one at that.

AirBrontosaurus,
Thanks, and yea I know about the f/stops being really small at the higher magnifications but honestly I need the DOF. It barely has enough DOF at f/16

racketman,
They were taken in Faithful with saturation +1 no color adjustments in software. However I did have the flash set between -1/3 to -2/3 which can make the color a bit deeper but my eyes like them.

You'll love that combination, I too have the 5D with an MP-E65 glued to it, using an 580ex flash. here is a small Damselfly.

Great shots !!!
How did you get the fly in the "Red Eyes" shot so still ?
Was it alive?

Bald Eagle,
Yea I am beginning to understand the glued to it theory

Dusty,
We made an under the counter cash deal
No, seriously he was just patient and flew away as soon as the flash fired.
Now this fly was a lot harder and wasn't as helpful

Excellent series- obviously enjoying the lens
As others have commented a bit more saturated than we normally see.
