Hi Birdman, For a change, nice to see you going in for flies and bees giving some rest to the birds. Great macro shots. First one is the greatest for me.

Regards,

This was taken without extension tubes,the lens was just about at 1:1
I also used a Sigma EM-140 ring flash and I cropped a bit 1/180 sec, f20,+0.3 EV,ISO 250,manual focus,handheld.
Hope this helps

Thank you, seriously impressed with hand held. I am waiting on my Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro, to be delivered then I am going to give this a try.

I nearly always use a tripod with my telephoto's but never with the macro lens.
The Tamron is a great sharp lens I only got the Sigma because it came up on ebay at a good price .
I look forward to seeing some of your shots on here.
Good luck.
