I can’t get as close as the guys with the MP-E65, so I have to use pipes to get closer, but even then it doesn’t have the magnification or clarity.
Still, I need to do with it until I get another load of money (but that will have to be a lottery win no redundancy, lol) …
This is a cranefly, but it was on a corner so awkward as it could be, as the sheltered on the drier side of the garden fence, but I had to stand over the bottom bed (very muddy) and shooting to get something above the eyes, making for more difficult positioning all round.
