Thanks for the constructive criticism LOL

Perhaps you'd like to suggest ways to do better next time rather than leave flippant remarks :-)

The mite is the size of a pin head. At 1:1 it represents a spot on the image. How would you suggest nailing the focus?

Not bad for a crop. You'll need an MP-E65 for tiny subject like this :)

I tried many time with a 100mm without better results. This one is good with the equipment you have.
I guess a MPE or a 50mm + bellows would be better .

I'm impressed man. These are smaller than a pinhead normally, their legs are almost invisible to the eye sometimes. Great work!

Good one - I find these hard even with an MPE-65, they just move too fast normally.
