Great shot Alistair, I'm still getting to grips with the MP-E, what f stops are you using at different magnification?

Thanks Matey, aren't these alot more than they seem due to the magnification like f11 is like f22 at 5x ? Did I read that somewhere or am I just imagining it? :lol:

These are superb shots, I especially like the last one.

f11 at 5x is f66, there is an equation and chart for it in the manual (something I rarely read) :D.
