Well Tonight/this morning (3:43 AM here) I took my highest magnification "legitimate" shot yet 
It involved a fully extended pentax auto bellows II, several extension tubes, and a reversed Pentax F 28mm @ F/4
The shot is a relatively small stack of 31 images, and is not very sharp. At this magnification i am greatly limited by the optics I have at hand so the image is no where near as sharp as I'd like it to be. It appears some microscope objectives will fit my needs perfectly
I was not planning on using this image as it was taken to test some lighting setups I have constructed but like the title says its kind of a milestone for me as a macro shooter.

its a boatman fly, the same species as this one I shot a couple months back:

Different coloring in the eyes which I found interesting
