MY MP-E65 ARRIVED :):)

This is going to get some taking used to BUT I CANOT PUT IT DOWN!!

This is a 1 cm long spider at 5X magnification(no flash, 30 sec exposure) an a fly(dead)

iv taken a few also with the on camera flash at iso 200 shutter 200 and f14 but am getting a flash in 12 days for my birthday

No doubt will have a few posts now

Very cool! I've got the lens on my shopping list but it will be a little bit before I can break down and buy it. Looks like you can get some great shots with it. Look forward to seeing more.

gross, kill em all !

I like the first one! How close are you to those things when you shoot them??

bout 3-4cm i guess lol the worst things wen they move in the viewfinder(ie the spider) lol

Congrats on the new lens Lance, if you ever give up macro send my your lens looks like you will have lots of fun with the mp-e.

congrats, be great when you get your flash; on board flash is ok at 1:1 but wont reach over lens at higher mag.

haha i dont think il be giving up macro any time soon and yea once you get to about 1.5:1 the lens causes a shadow from the onboard flash

Congrats on the lens and good first shots

Good shots - the mp-e65 opens up lots of possibilities - its on my wish list too ............. I wish!!!!

Nice first attempts. Had to smile at the dead fly. We'd never have guessed.

I'd love an MP-E, but then again I also need a 70-200 f/2.8, a couple of teleconverters, a decent monopod, a new camera bag, some extension tubes...

Any clues as to the lottery numbers this week?

Haha if i new the lottery numbers thered be a new 500 f/4, 10-22mm, monopod some new memory ............... lol You can never have to much photo gear
