It's just a shot to test the boundaries of crop and blow up. The previous close-up was resized to 1.8k*1.4k. I heavily "tweaked" it since I was only interested in the facet pattern.
This is where I pulled it from:

Thanks -- handsome beastie, beautiful colors; don't want to think what it's eating in the garden
Mike, I just notice you got the Sigma 105 macro. Is that the f/2.8 with VR? I wondered if VR is of any help when going 1:1?

A couple more from this morning.
I need to figure out what these things are, they look like stink bugs but smaller.
They sure seem to like my yard whatever they are.
Same bug different view.

Another mystery bug from this morning.
No its the old screw drive version.i would buy with VR if i was buying now though,just to have it incase
I was curious if VR had much effect at that range. I'm still pondering if I'd buy an extra 105mm to use with a TC and get closer. I just had my Nikon extension delivered (I ordered before I read it might not work) and it indeed just acts as a hollow tube that delivers NO info from the lens to the cam.
Btw, thanks Nikon for that amazing piece of technology you managed to develop. I've got some old rain pipe here, maybe you can use that to produce some more extension rings.

Those must be older ones for MF lenses, when there was no CPU in the lense. Modern AF extension tubes from Kenko and Polaroid have the relevant contacts, so both metering and AF works.
