Jumpers, dragonflies and some other small criiters (since I have my MPE65 :) ). Anything new would also get me excited ;)

only problem there is that MP E65 has too high a minimum mag to get all of a Dragonfly in - great for close up detail though unless your 1.3 and ff sensors get a lot more in? Which of those cameras do you prefer for macro??
