this is my first post in the macro section. I have always been interested in macro and micro photography, but I have never really tried it. So this is my first venture in I have both of the medical Nikkors, I grabbed the 120 and headed to the front yard. These shots are hand held and even though I have the ac units to power the built in flash but I was using it available light. I am so impressed with the output of this lens. I cant wait for the temp to go down so I can get the 200 medical out and give it a try.

Excellent lens.
Remember that 'true macro' is 1:1 reproduction, which is the closest focusing point (shortest working distance) with this lens, or any normal macro lens.
Your photos look closer to 1:2 mag (close-up), not true 1:1 macro. At 1:1 mag, we should see individual pollen particles, and your Depth-of-Field will be extremely narrow.
