I'm not aware of any macro lens offering 7x mag and IS/OS/VR. Only Nikon's macro lens (60mm from memory) offers VR. None of Canon's macro lenses do. And only Canon's MPE-65 has any real high mag - 1:1 - 5:1. Minolta had a 5x macro lens years ago, but I doubt you're using that. You could be using TCs, tubes, etc, but you'd lose IS/OS etc imho. I'm curious now.

Good shots of a horsefly as well.
