I have a small garden and although I am trying to make it more interesting (winter flowers etc). I don't get many new insects. Here is a small beetle that I saw for the first time the other day.

Amazing capture!

Will figure magnification as you suggested.

Between what two points of the bellows and/or lens and camera are measured to figure total extension? Some sites say "film" plane.
My budget required purchasing a bellows and adapters from China for Olympus 4/3rds system.
Thanks.
