    Nice mate, quite sharp really… especially for holding it on an awkward sounding angle and using live view – sorry I can’t help with ID. Keep forgetting you have the mp-e now mate, how often do you find yourself going above 2:1?

  • Thanks Jason. Not that often yet. It’s actually a decent step up from 2:1 – 3:1. The flexibility is great and the sharpness blows me away…it really is a stellar lens.

    Your insect macro’s are just brilliant.
    I have just bought a macro lens for $1,200 and am just starting to get used to it…
