Ya'll will enjoy my headless bee , I'm just happy his butt was sharp.

Well I got off to my usual start, then tried another natural light shot .

Nice job, Tom. I'd be proud of all of them!

I especially like the last one (Blue Darter).

Thanks for the examples of the detail loss.

Wonderful series - certainly getting good detail with the combo !
You seem to have settled on F5.6 as a good aperture for this ?

It does seem like you favor f/5.6 with this combo. Is that giving you the best shots?

Brian I guess I have , I can't honestly say I stuck with it from a detail or sharpness standpoint but more from an except-able level of sharpness with some sort of BG blur.

My only dislike of this setup is the busy BG or lack of blur if you are not at least shooting at 1to1. We do have to remember though we are supposed to be using it as a aid for less than 1to1 with MP-E .

So f 5.6 to f8 I think are the sweat spots for me . Kenny does have some nice shot at f 11 or f13 if I remember correctly.
