I still think my old panasonic g80 micro four thirds and the Leica 100-400 is better for close ups though here's one the wife took yesterday with my old kit the image speaks for itself and she's not used it much at all yet

Another one with the sigma 150-600mm and D500. This one was short listed on outdoor photographer of the year.
If you look the right of the stick you can see the Exuvia it came from.

Jeff some of those are working very well. Not easy and depth of field is never enough. The stacking tests I did would not help you at all with live inscets! I think some of the experts in this field freze the poor old insect then take stacking series of images in a studio or very wind free place. Not my interest and way out of my comfort zone.
Your doing well keep up the good work.

Cheers graham , I have owned and used several macro lenses over the years in various lengths I.e 105/150/180  but this little 60mm seems to outdo them all ,it's so light and manouverable considering getting a  LED  ring light flash  for it now I have sorted out the filter threads .. not bad results for a £45 lens
