here are three of my favorites, all shot at > 1:1 and with the 135 Tele Elmar mounted on a bellows with the Viso/M8 combination
a dragonfly (I have one of a different dragonfly even closer in, but I think this the more aesthetically pleasing photograph)

a phalenopsis up close

a monarch butterfly

I have many others taken with this somewhat ungainly combination and some that I may even prefer, but these are all true macros, done with at least 1:1 reproduction
larger versions of these can be found here
