My third MPE65 snake shot :D. With the MP-E65, the maximum working distance is 4 inches (front of lens to subject) at the minimum magnification of 1:1. Wagler's Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri), young female. More tropical snakes and other herps here: orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/12/tropical-reptiles-amphi...
