I used the Canon MP-E 65mm macro, the only lens capable of such magnifications.

Super nice! I really need to get out there in the mornings. That's when you really get good insect shots, eh? Often I go out though, and it's still a bit windy.

Yeah, morning is definately the time to shoot macro
Wind is a matter of luck... but you need to get out there and shoot.

Yeah, I guess I better just try to change my sleeping schedule so instead of going to bed at 3, I'm getting up a couple hours later! Spring is on its way; would be good to try soon. I have the equipment, and I know how to use it... should be great. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration.

Oh my goodness, my and my girlfriend just went completely batshit over this because he/she looks amazingly similar to a character of mine, Tobi: [link]

I use a Canon 40D. Not that it's critical, you can take a good picture with any camera.

Wow this is amazing.
I just googled what an MP-E was.
MP-E65mm - thats a really cool lens.
Makes me wanna buy a SLR, just to take more macros.
Congrats on the DD.
Keep em coming

I will, thanks!
BTW, if you do gt an SLR and a macro lens, do NOT make the MP-E your first macro lens. It's extremely hard to use and will get you very frustrated. Better get started with an easier lens. If you need recommendations, message me.

I can imagine, but you know I used the same method of focusing with my lowly oly 5060.
I put it into super macro mode, which lets me get the lens 3cm right infront of the insects, I keep it in manual focus, and move back and forth until I get it into focus, which is pretty much what I assume you do with your MP-E.
But I cant afford a SLR right now, trying to get a new bridge cam.
May be in a couple of years, unless you upgrade and are willing to throw your 40D my way
