My ick factor just hit the roof. So much detail makes me get the wobbles all over. Great job.

Great detail, Great pictures. It looks like on #2 that the spider has just broken free from the web. Did you use Manual or Auto Focus & were these taken from a tripod or handheld?

Thank you everyone ..

Sigma 50mm is pre - autofocus : Sigma 50mm F2.8 Macro Lens Reviews - Sigma Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database

Ricoh macro adapter ( dont know how long this link will be good for ) : Ricoh Macro Teleconverter P 2X F Pentax PK K10D K200D | eBay

All manual and flash .. and hand held , ( not nearly enough space for a tripod ) , I put the lens on my K7 , one day I might try for some Macro Video (?)
