Very good detail. I think that a bit darker background will improve this picture

As I said, I was not worried at all about artistic content or exposure for that matter, I was mainly trying all apertures on a bunch of objects at 1:1 that may need as much depth of field as some chunky insect. For some reason f/11 looked best for me even though the rear screw was a bit blurred. Of course looking at it 100% the depth of field is much shallower again than I see at full screen view.

Now I have a starting point when I do get outdoors and try some real things.

Today I picked up the rather clever slide-back hood for the lens, still expensive but surprisingly is cheaper than some of the less complex Oly hoods. Now need to find a 46mm centre squeeze lens cap to make life easier.
