It's not so much the camera as the lens. The Canon MP-E 65mm Macro lens is the only macro lens with a greater than 1x optical magnification (up to 5x). I've been advocating the lens for a couple years if you check my posts. $900 lens. Not an easy upgrade decision with me as I have 4 or 5x that invested in my film equipment with is still serviceable.

Yeah, the Mp-E 65mm is craaaaazy. Technically difficult, but can produce amazing results (see above ) when used by the right "hands."

Awesome job! I hope to see more, I've always been a fan of the results of this lens.

Great shots.

Hope they make a lens like that for my camera someday. Still only 1 to 1 macros for my camera.
I'd hate to have to change everything out........ but that lens is fantastic!

Amazing macros! If I didn't know any better I'd think the plants were from another planet.

I think "Fantasy" is the key word, it certainly looks like something from a fantasy land. Thanks for sharing!
