Love the first shot. I am assuming it was taken with the MPE-65?


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

That is one ugly bug, but cracking shots, especially the first.

Thanks Brian, to be honest I'm finding it difficult to find a bad thing to say about it and for around £30 it is a pretty remarkable cheap option into macro.

I don't see anything Raynox for the 100 macro. Only the kit lens. ? ? ?

EDIT: OK .. I guess you use a thread ring of some type.

The Raynox comes with an adaptor that clips on the front of your lens it fix 52-67mm threads.

My Raynox has been posted! Someone here needs to order the 24x snap on lens just for the hell of it!
Great portrait shot, detail is as good as anything you could expect from a dslr. What was your working distance?
