Nice set ... you didn't photograph the stilt fly in Sydney did you? They are not supposed to be that far south I didn't think. They are very common up here and in Brisbane. Beautiful colours on the stilt fly too ...

three of them taken with the MPE (The ant was too big and too frisky to get so close and so it was taken with the 100mm macro).
All with diffused flash overhead but no stacking

I'm a new aficionado of the mp65 and thank pelooyen for the flash information! When I bought the mp65 I also received the MT24EX. Do you think this lens adaquate with the Omni-Bounce Set ? or will I need something else? I just caught a dragon fly and want to give macro a go!

I use modified diffuser on the MT24EX, based on Dalentech's design - check out his video here (external link)

Softens the light much more
If you check my macro on my site or on flickr, all have been used with this setup for the last year or so
