The MPE-65mm is basically a reversed 65mm lens on a variable length extension tube -but I'd say that it's a lot easier to use than reversing a standard lens. Keep your Fstop around 11 and practice -lots and lots of practice...

i always keep my Fstop at 22,but im not realy sure,cause i cant see the Fnumber at my camera,so i just set it before i reverse the lens and attach to my extension tube,..i will take a lot of practice sir,..thank you so much master,..

That is an amazing picture. Must have been tough to have it sit still long enough to get that

...D8 Oh my gosh! I've never seen a wasp this large with this much clarity and detail. I love taking pictures of bees, wasps, and yellow jackets, but my camera could never catch something like this. Stunning, simply stunning.

geez, my first word was: "HOW?"
Excellent shot, not only technically superb, but the artistic merit is really high in this one

Thanks for the props
That shot was the result of a "dare" -someone looked at an earlier photo and told me that it was too bad that I couldn't shoot the reflection. The trick is to get a pool of honey that's so thick the flash will reflect off of the surface and not off of the base (in this case a tree limb). On that particular spot there was an indentation that allowed me to get the honey thick enough. All I had to do was wait for the "model" to show up...
