I was playing around with a Rayonox 250 macro lens on my camera this past week, and got a few shots of various insects around my yard and flower beds. These were all taken hand held without a tripod, so they’re not as sharp as they could be. I find this lens very difficult to focus, even more difficult on a cloudy day and I was surprised at the details visible in the full size versions of these photos, especially in the flower flies — these insects are tiny.
