Always an interesting subject.

60/1.40 S Plan Apo. (126X overall onto APS-C sensor size).

Rather flat subject, but still a little information can be gleaned from a stereo version.

Beautifully done! I assume the feathering on the wing edge is for stealth purposes - to soften the buzzing of the wings beating.

The first is 10X onto APS-C sensor. Second is 21X. Here are two of the images with scale bars for better reference.

Spectacular! Good you added the scale in previous comment, otherwise I would have thought the wings were much bigger. :)
