Thanks everyone! Very Happy At frog photo is just natural light, bumblebee have a little bit off fill flash. I think both were taken with e-500 oly.
I have much more macro shots from this zuiko 1.8. But now when i've got 50mm 1.4, I am looking forward to see if is any sharper at f8 and below. We must wait for spring and new bugs Smile

Another spider picture, this one taken with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 on a Nikon D5200 -- a wonderful light combo. This was in a meadow high in the Wild Sky Wilderness of Washington state. I was photographing flowers, then saw that this bee wasn't moving.

Fantastic shot. Congrats Gaeger.
At first glance we see the bee and only after the spider.

What is the minimum focusing distance of the micro-nikkor 2.8/55mm ?

This is with a Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f4 AIS and a Vivitar macro teleconverter on a Nikon D600. F5.6, 1/500th sec., ISO 1600. Taken at Ward Lake, near Ketchikan, Alaska.

Very nice picture Gil.
I think this optical combo has lower image quality (quite normal isn't it).

The Vivitar macro teleconverter was specificially designed to convert 50mm "normal lenses" into 100mm macro ones up to 1:1 and delivers in this combination really excellent results.

IMHO in combination with a zoom lens the result must be worse. However, the shown example is still very nice and more than usable as well.

I've done a lot with this vivitar macro converter and 50mm lenses in the past, primarily on film SLRs. The positive side effect is the better DOF of the 50mm lens when compared to a real 100mm macro lens, however, the magnification is the same.
