These are all great Scott. Do you feel that the Raynox gives you more depth of field than the macro lens alone? Unless all these were focus stacked...?

Love that last Bee in flight. Must be hard with all that pollen baggage. Scott, you obviously have too much time off to spend with your new Mac! Are you loving it? Cheers, Brad :)

Marcel the Raynox gives me way less DOF than just the macro lens I feel, that focus line is around 1mm. These are all single shots except the first grasshopper which is 2 x images. The ants were hard to get in focus and I always found myself overshooting the focus and getting their thorax. I took a lot of photos of them.

Brad these were all taken during work or directly after on my week at work, I am now on days off and only just got to editing them. The bees were very hard to photograph as it was windy and they were very active, again alot of missed shots but managed a few keepers.
