Took these shots yesterday. I am not usually into Macro shots but got a bit bored waiting for some of our feathered friends so had a go at this Fly instead.

K10D, DA 300mm DA at f4, 1/800sec,ISO 100 at about 1.5m range.

I think these could use an increase in exposure, also, if the main subject is the fly, it's not in focus.

Got all excited for a second, from the title I thought Pentax had released a DA* 300mm f4 macro lens overnight without me knowing.

I thought the same thing and couldn't click on it fast enough

Not an easy thing to do, to achieve perfect focus with that lens, pretty good effort but as Pete says, a little under exposed.
