I'm assuming considering the ss One of the reasons that the MP-E 65 is hard to use is that it doesn't let in much light. So, yes, as you noted a flash was used. With the MP-E 65, the subject is so close to the lens that the built-in flash would be blocked by the lens. Canon makes a couple of specialized flashes for the MP-E 65 that actually mount to the end of the lens. I use the MT-26EX-RT Macro Twin Lite flash. Image editing ok; C&C always welcome.

I have no regrets buying that one, but I should use it more often. C&C always welcome

I have no regrets buying that one, but I should use it more often. It is fun! There is so much to see that I haven't seen before. Studio shots are easy (tripod + focusing rail), but the true nature shots are still very hard for me. I'm improving, and I know there's light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 65, and my hands aren't as steady as they used to be. Using a good monopod for the nature shots is helping quite a bit. Image editing ok; C&C always welcome.
