Macro dilemma

I agree with others here that teleconverter is the way to go if you want to have enough working distance for insects that are actually still alive. I've used the SP90 combined with the Pentax 1,7x AF adapter on my ist DS with good results: Close Enough ? on Flickr - Photo Sharing!


If however the insects are dead (or at least rather stuck due to a lot of moist), you can go ahead with some crazy 5:1 macro rig, but you'll have no working distance at all and a non-existant depth of field. I think most MP-E 65 users will tell you it's a real pain to use out in the field. To get enough dof with extreme macro setups you'll probably need to shoot a bunch of images of a static subject while turning the focus ring, and then use suitable software to combine the shots in post, for example Helicon Focus.
