Yeah I do plenty of crap ones but, I don't think your are ready for them yet Scraggs.;) What raynox did you go for?

Nice pics again AJ.

Will the raynox fit onto my EFS 60mm.

Is the raynox just a magnifying glass?
How does it affect exposure time?

Thanks for looking torque, Not sure as I haven't got that lens, it works on my 18-55 ef-s but I have to zoom it to about 40mm. here is the raynox japan site have a look.

You have to get quite close with the 202 about 6-8cms and DOF is very tight also. Don't expect great results as it takes a bit of practice but I'm sure a photog of your caliber will get the knack of it pretty quick ;) The 250 or even the 150 are better first choices giving you more distance between the lens and subject and a wider plane of focus.

Which begs the question, how do you get so close to your bugs without scaring them? The little bug gers scarper as soon as I get near! Are you a ninja? Or perhaps a Jedi master (waves hand "you will pose for me!) I`ve got the DCR 250 and a fuji 6500fd.

Great Macros yet again AJ :clap:

Very slowly is the answer of you can lay out a trap of a bit of jam and place the camera and wait for the fly to return. I also shot a lot in the early morning before the insects have warmed up and are slow.

Thanks Mitch ;)
