Took the new lens set up out for a test spin last weekend. This is using the Canon 50mm 2.5 with the Life-size converter. I love how much larger stuff like this is now from a distance, now that my lens is a true 1:1. This was shot from about 1 foot away.
Some cropping here on this shot, and at full size you can tell I missed the focus on the head a bit. But once it's reduced for the web (and in print) it looks pretty sweet.
Thanks for looking and any comments.

PS, I noticed that my EXIF data now shows the lens as a 70mm when the converter is attached.

Tack sharp macro capture my friend. God Bless.
Superb!!Light on the eye is fantastic, so is on the end of legs! What number is your converter? Is a 1.4X? This could explain the 70 mark now, as the converter multiplies your focal length by the degree of magnification that it has.
Great vivid color! My macro lens is in the mail. I can't wait!
Great macro, very difficult to get a sharp shot of a flying bee. I go with Netot on the 70mm thing.
great job on a very very tough shot!!! btw exposure is spot on!
Brilliant! I often miss my 50mm macro that I had withh my film cameras. But I can't physically handle the weight and size of kit like you boys have!
Great work.
THE moment for a photo.. Beautiful
beautiful flower/bee shot
Splendid work. Sounds like an interesting lens setup. Will have to look into that.
A wonderful capture and that sounds like a fabulous lens. I am sure you will have lots of fun with it.
That is a full load he has! Great work with your new equipment, Clive
fabulous!!! (THX for the info! & congrats!!! :-D)
Focus is great - also a real sharp shot. Captured in the right moment. Have fun with that new toy :)
