Well another grim day weatherwise here so I settled for a pic as promised to Lesley of the flash set up for the fly pic.

To give a better idea of the magnification I found a fly about 8mm long ( don't know what it is ) that I took side on to show the limited dof at f16. I did not persue further images as being basically black it is hard to show any interesting detail.

For Christine I did the edge of a £2 coin which is posted full frame, to give some idea of the magnification. This was taken with D100 and diffused pop-up flash at f22. Diffusion was a bit of kitchen towel taped to the end of the lens and loosly folded back and taped to the top of the pop-up.
