Beautiful! I've been doing some macro experiments lately, the results are quite breathtaking. There's nothing like a 50x75cm print of a flower that's only 2cm!

Another thing I'm having fun with is reverse-mounting my 50mm on the front of my 28-135. I can get 2.6x magnification, although the amount of camera shake at that magnification is very hard to control.

you can put it reversed on a 18-55 kit lens and do wonders too!

The two best photos I've taken recently were with just my 50mm, reversed:

Really cool - the pollen almost looks like dried blood, or digital even.
