Have fun playing with it. It's a shame the insects are starting to disappear now.

They quote 0.2mm DOF at max magnification Matt lol so static subjects and focus stacking maybe the order of the day. My Sigma 150mm and tubes will still be very active as the Canon MP-E65 doesn't even focus beyond 6" !!! and starts at x1 magnification + the sensor crop factor of the 1D or 20D. So I couldn't take a picture of say a complete butterfly even if I wanted to
