Niice.
I have a Vivitar 2 x Macro Converter from my film camera’s (Nikon)
That combined with my 28-85 IF ED lens gave me some great Macro shots too.
They have beautiful glass in there.

Thanks guys …
Editing = Photoscape / resized to 1280 - quality 90% (?) , minor colour correction to correct for flash ( Flash tends to wash out the colours )

How far away from the subjects were you when taking these?

Really have to run those high F stops , for this lens F22 is as high as it will go ( or as small as the aperture will go ) .

Most lenses become a bit soft when used at max (either high or low) aperture. Yours appears to be tack sharp.

Trade off’s …
The secret (for me) is light , as God said = Let there be light .
Light helps to freeze an image , it also helps to bring out details .
So if you use enough light , it helps to offset the softening from the high F stop .
But the cost is washing out the colour .
So depending on the background and the subject , there can be a huge amount of flash burn to correct / or attempt to correct .
In the Bee photo you may be able to see a lot off colour has been washed away by the flash .
