Pentax K-5 II s I like all these. Your diffuser seems to
be perfect for this type of macro shot.

Ooh cracking shots - I particularly like the side view of the Robber fly with prey. Beautifully sharp and with uncluttered backgrounds. Nicely done!

Cheers

These are superb. If the K-5IIs is capable of this sort of quality then I think I may just have to buy one, mind you I think there's a large element of photographic skill here too.

Exceptional shots, great demo of the capabilities of the camera but much more so the photographer.

Superb shots, as a macro shooter I was interested to see how the K-5 IIs would handle the repeating patterns of compound eyes and you have shown that not to be a concern. Thanks for posting.
