took a few shots with this lens plus a single extension tube. Certainly ok for larger insects though not being a macro design it wont compete fully with macro zooms:

Nice sharp shots. What was your lighting setup, I don't see anything in the first pic?

420EX on the hotshoe - used a normal sto-fen Omni bounce on the flash at first but found it messed up the colour balance - only had the 20D a few days so have to work out what's happening there. No problem with sto-fen and 420EX on my 350D. Anyway took the bounce off and colours were fine then.
Tried a few without flash but not so sharp - maybe needed monopod.

Nice shots, I read somewhere that to avoid a lens fogging up put it in a plastic bag before going out of the house and into the cold then hot. I tried it on Sunday and it worked a treat, also put the camera in as it stops the mirror fogging.
