Keep in mind that the MP-E 65 can only do 1:1 - 5:1. Unless the flowers were really small, you wouldn't even be able to get a shot of the whole thing. Think of a grain of rice or two filling the entire frame - that's what 5:1 will look like. 1:1, something like a postage stamp would fill the entire frame.
Yes, I was talking about the Canon 100mm Macro.
That sounds about right (in bold). The lens is roughly 6 inches long, and the mount to the film plane is roughly 2 or 1.5 inches (those are just guesses, too lazy to measure everything...) - that adds up to about 8 inches, so there's about 4 inches left in front of the lens.
With the 100mm macro at 1:1, the subject is only 3-4 inches from the front of the lens. With a shorter macro (1:1) lens, that would be somewhere around 1-2 inches.
is that the canon 100mm macro lens mentioned above? one site says "0.31m / 1 ft. (film plane to subject)"
does that mean its measured form teh film plane?
