Phosphene,
Thank you for Very informative reply. It really helped to sort things out.
So, all these staggering exposures were made without a support (tripod) or just that one with an ash borer was made handheld? Hope one day I will be able to do something similar. As for now, I just want to buy all necessary equipment to be fully prepared when spring finally arrives.

Yes, I have and I must admit that your shots are gorgeous. Assume you are using focus stacking technique with Raynox 250? Maybe some special equipment for that purpose?
My TCs are with electric contacts so I could control the aperture. Without optics they act just like ~25-26 mm macro rings (extension tubes). Mine are Takumar and Vivitar 2x. There are plenty of these and similar on Ebay for a reasonable price what I can't say about genuine macro rings with electric contacts which are practically impossible to find.
The pleasure is all mine, Phosphene. I am happy to know that I am welcomed in this friendly community and it's nice to know that there are other "partakers". :D

Once again hello all,
Which of these would you recommend in combination with a SMC DFA 100mm f/2.8 Macro WR lens,
Raynox 150 or 250? The purpose would be floral and insect shot with greater magnification than
native 1:1. I also have two 2x TCs, which are stripped of glass which I could/would use in conjunction with Raynox.
Please bear in mind, that I am new to all this macro photography thing so very shallow DOF & working distance frightens
me off, but I just cannot resist of trying. Your super-macro shots of enlarged bodies of those little critters are simply gorgeous so I envy you & want to try also.
