I got a Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens today I set it up on my Olympus OMD EM1 ii with my STF-8 and tested it on some springtails on my bin and water butt but also on some vegetation but those were one handed. Here is a heavy crop from a 2:1 shot Katiannidae by Alf Branch, on Flickr Here are some recent shots with my Sigma 105 f2.8 Katiannidae by Alf Branch, on Flickr Katiannidae by Alf Branch, on Flickr Feeding springtail by Alf Branch, on Flickr

You must be absolutely frozen taking those! Good to see that Spring is coming! They are all great as usual.
Thanks Pete. I always dress for the weather but these are not a sign of spring they are active all year.
