Decent enough set and the lighting looks better too. You are working with some difficult magnifications there so well done.

Thanks for that. I can now cope with up to 3x magnification without too much difficulty. After this it gets tricky - sometimes I can't even find the thing.
The lighting set up is a bit random sadly, it keeps getting bumped and changes so it is never the same twice.
(Apart from the large fly which was with a 60 mm lens)

I'm assuming you're in the UK. Where are you finding these things at this time of year?

Cancel. My bad, I've just read the text along side the pics.

Very nice set. That moth fly is certainly a curious creature.
