[QUOTE="STM, post: 153310, member: 12827"] This is probably my favorite macro image. It was taken in my homemade light tent with the D700 and my PB-6 bellows and 50mm f/1.4 AI Nikkor reversed. Magnification on the sensor was around 3x. Depth of field is very shallow but the detail is amazing. That is always the coolest thing about high magnification macro photography, it enables you to see things you simply cannot see with the naked eye!
