Great shots! Most people never even notice things like solitary bees and assassin bug nymphs. Or realize how hard it is to get good, sharp shots of something that size.

Yes, that was a great lens. I borrowed one once a long time ago and had a hard time returning it.

Thanks, I still have not perfected macro still shooting yet. Even more difficult trying to shoot video. Subjects don't want to cooperate.
Still have it, FD mount,,,,many lenses,,,,T90 body,,,,
Great close ups,,,,definitely need a tripod,,,,
Those Nikon diopters work pretty good for the money.
Good ones! I sometimes get better focus with my extension tubes than with my macro lens Hard to control depth of field sometimes.

Yep, the closer you are, the harder it is. Nicely done!

I haven't much been shooting pics (except a little sports stuff) for quite a while.
Looking to do some portrait type pics soon and maybe a little nature.
Was rummaging through my camera equipment last night and ran up on two old Nikon Lester Dine 105 macro lenses that I had bought several years ago after seeing the results that Rip18 had with them. Lenses were originally sold for use in dental offices to take pics of teeth (i.e. designed for close up work).
I shoot Canon equipment. Have an adapter so the lens would fit a Canon. Still, figured out real fast I didn't have the hang of it and that I definitely wasn't Rip18 when it came to shooting macros.
Anyway, I'm gonna spend a little time next week piddling with it trying to get some decent shots.

Looks like a very well thought of lens. Does yours have the ring light?

One of mine came with the ring light, but it was inoperable. Other one I just bought the lens.
These lenses are built like a tank.
