Amazing detail. Did you use any add-on diopter or just the bare lens?
thanks joseph, this has all 3 stacked kenko xtn tubes. ie: its not cropped.

Might be a silly question, but I am curious how many of you have used / use a ND or polarizer filter with this lens? I am thinking about adding this back to my bag (should never have sold it) but I never used filters with it. In looking back at my images, there are a handful that were captured in bright sunlight and I would rather avoid that issue this time around.
Any input is appreciated other than the usual filter/no filter debate.

are you using extension tubes? How are you able to get so close without making these critters shy away? I have been finding the 105 to be short for fast moving critters
yes, i believe there were 3 on that shot.
every now and then you get a critter that doesn't fly away. it doesn't happen often. spring mornings are the best cos it still quite cool in the mornings and they can have dew on their wings. once the sun has broken for a while and they heat up you dont have much chance.

Excellent shots, Chris. I am impressed.
May be I should get some tubes to try these on my 105mm.
What tubes do you recommend?
thanks arthur.
i just use kenko tubes, they are nothing special.

Thanks! Your shots are simply amazing.
this is the most important thing you will need for macro.

Can I get this in eBay?
I just recently acquired this lens and have a long way to go before I get anywhere near the quality of what Chris (Rooz) is producing. Amazing stuff. This is an early experiment with my wife's beat up watch.
