Dennis' recent brilliant photographs (4/4/13) inspired me to get a MPE65 macro lens.
Here are a couple of my first shots with it - bugs on the kitchen bench ... the moth is at about 3x; the full bug (no idea what type it is) is done with a Canon 100mm L macro, while the closeups are both MPE65 at 5x. The young St Andrews spider (body of 1cm), near the tv, has just caught a small beetle - it cooperatively moved to the other side of the web so I could get both above and below angles, both with the 100mm. All shot with 600D and handheld (ie arms resting on the bench) except the St Andrews which were shot with a tripod.
Ok, so I have the lens; that's the easy bit... if one day I can go close to the quality that Dennis produces I'll be very happy
