This is my first flash experiment with the mate’s 100mm macro. Not one ounce of originality, plus the model [later liberated to the back yard] probably wouldn’t thank me for the experience, but I’m actually pretty pleased. The earlier shot with the long exposure stood me in good stead for getting a feeling of what I could do with depth of field. This was at minimum focal distance though, plus as far as I could push the aperture:

1/60 sec at f22, ISO 100 at 100mm

I had the flash angled fully forward, and used the catchlight panel to try to bounce a modest amount of light down to the subject.

This was the best of about 5 shots I took handheld. I’ve seen some shots the mate who owns the lens has take of a fly’s eye, showing the compound lenses, which he does in conjunction with some extension tubes. It must have been an act of extreme patience, given that the depth of field must have been about a millimetre deep.
