Why the "only 2.8" comment, there are very few macro lenses that are faster than 2.8 and you will be more concerned about stopping down for dof in any event.

Indeed; on the 2nd pic I posted above, shot at 2.8, only the eyes of the fly are in focus.

If I wanted to get a complete fly in focus, I needed to step down for a pic of fly+flower, which was taken a bit later at (I think) 5.6 or 8.

By "only 2.8", I'm guessing the OP was referring to the fact that it's a Canon EF lens used via an adapter and so s/he would be unable to change the aperture.
