Nice job Efram.....Have you ever used a crop sensor camera for Macro and if so, do you prefer the full frame over the crop? Good to see a post from you again,

I did most of my macro like over 90% on my website, on a nikon d5100 which is now converted into infrared. i used to use a reverse mount nikkor 50 1.8d and 28 f2.8 ais lenses. I am planning to get a 7d in which case id probably not use my 5dmkii as much for macro. with the MP-E 65mm the crop sensor can be a disadvantage or advantage depending on how small the creature is you are shooting.
For those that want to shoot with the MP-E 65, i suggest some sort of speedlight you can move closer to the subject such as macro softbox or ring flashes. also f/13 is where i like to shoot at.

Its an advantage because you can use a lower magnification to fill the frame and therefore use a smaller magnification and the higher magnification the smaller the DOF field becomes.Nice job Efram.....Have you ever used a crop sensor camera for Macro and if so, do you prefer the full frame over the crop?

although with high density full frame sensors there is less of a difference shooting with the Nikon d5100 (you could shoot at the lower magnification, get more DOF and then crop) was good for bees and wasps usually smaller then the sensor using the 50mm f/1.8D reversed, while if i put the same lens on my 5dmkii (w/a converter) it works better for larger things such as butterflies, grasshoppers, etc.

Just as an aside, if you want to shoot ants, the mpe65 is the best method as of yet for capturing them.
