    Thanks for the comments, Brian. For bugs I been trying to use between f/10 to f/16 (the MP-E 65 does not go to f/22, not that I would use that for bugs I think).

    Spider: f/10
    Ladybug: f/11
    Porn: f/11

    David, one thing to try is to widen the aperture as you up the magnification.
    So at 1:1 I shoot at F11 but at 5:1 I shoot at F6.3. The diffraction softening of images kicks in at larger and larger apertures as you up the magnification apparently due to the decease in "apparent aperture".
