#4 is her/his model shot. Love it! Detail is super crisp, I know I asked in another thread what lens you used but I forgot to ask how close are you to the subject to get these shots?

Thanks, Forkie, Charlie, Petto, slackercruster.

Petto - the MP-E65's working distance, front of lens to subject at different magnification:

1x - 4 inches
2x - 2.5 inches
3x - 2 inches
4x - 1.7 inches
5x - 1.6 inches

Full body shots were probably at 1x or slightly higher, portrait shots around 2.5 5o 3x i think.
