Well, I got the MP-E after waiting what seems like year!!
So I head out to the local butterfly house, strapped on the flash (felt a bit embarrassed - its a specialist looking beast and I got even stranger looks that I get with the 50-500!!).
Given I like to jump in at the deep end I figure I'll go hand held, plus lugging a tripod round is a pain.
These are the results, and I'm pleased to say that I only binned about five images so the keeper rate is higher than I expected.... but I did have to blow a couple of ants off the lens
