Dear Kurt
Yes, I know--You going to tell me--Hey, Lazy surapon--Just Grab Canon MP-E 5X macro and shoot the BUGS---Ha, Ha, Ha.
After you visit my home, I get that small bug and put in zip-lock plastic bag--and put in freezer for ten minutes, And put the bug on my stand ready to shoot with MP-E--but, the bug start to crawl away---Ha, Ha, Ha--Dear kurt/ My teacher--I just let you have FUN with the bugs--And i will have fun with the people--Might be that my smart way to enjoy life with out working hard.
Nice to talk to you, take care

Dear Kurt
Yes, You can switch the switch from the left = 1 X to the right = 2.5 X--Plus we can adjust the sharpness of the Lens to match our eyes too. = $ 60 US. Dollars is a steal/ Great Deal and Equal Quality to $ 180 US. Dollars for Original Canon RAF-C
Good Luck
