sometimes your pictures look so unreal, I think: maybe he's pulling my leg and this is a 3d computer rendition and not real at all..

Nice work..

That gives a new meaning to "bug eyed". Awesome detail and color.

Thanks again for the comments.
The MPE-65 does have a focus/magnification ring much like a normal macro lens- it does not have AF but that would be useless anyway. I spent more than 6 months shooting with sigma 105 plus a full set of ext tubes plus a reversed 50mm lens before I decided the MPE-65 was just a lot more conveniant to use.
