Very nice images!

I know the camera and lens didn't take the photo, you did, but I am curious as to what camera and lens you used for the fly photo?

I was using my Nikon D7200 with a Nikon 85mm macro lens. Also a SB700 flash with small softbox attached.

Amazing detail. I have the same camera but have trouble getting the sharpness you have obtained here.

I have to go to f/18 to get more than a tiny sliver of depth of field but plus stay under ISO 800, so I think my shutter speed may be too slow?

Do you remember your settings?
