As described in this post in my "Journey" thread, I have been practising with an MPE-65 to see if it could fit into my toolkit, probably using it at 4X to 5X for small subjects such as springtails. I had hoped to try it on some small subjects in our garden today but unfortunately I couldn't find any. FWIW here are a few of today's test shots, albeit at lesser magnifications of I think (I didn't keep notes) in the range of 1X to 3X (Image 7 might have been at a higher magnification). The MPE-65 was mounted on a Sony A7ii, with a Venus Optics KX800 twin flash. I used various apertures today but it turns out that all these used minimum aperture of f/16.
The raw files were batch processed in DXO PhotoLab and then Silkypix, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom. There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album at Flickr.
