Right! I doubt it's possible to take any 1:1 shot with decent light. How do we light up something that's so close to the lens?
With a KX-800 of course http://www.venuslens.net/product/macro-twin-flash-kx-800/ :wink:

No thanks. Twin flash is over-rated and over priced, okay maybe not this one. I have been shooting with just one lightweight 270EX for so many years. All i need to do is either get a flexi arm or bracket.

Thanks, MuddyValley. Really wasn't checking how far the working distances were when taking these pics. All i can tell you is that the lens is extremely close to the subjects, even the little green pit viper I photographed. Close enough that it though it could climb onto my diffuser! That katydid was about 3 inches long.
Very impressive. The daylight shots are where the lens excels. With the daytime warm temperature, it must be a real challenge to get the framing and focus correct on subjects like the snake.
