PS: I tried both the L and non-L versions. Both very sharp... but my non-L version seemed sharper.

Here's one I took hand held, no flash, basically slowly walked up to this dragonfly while being careful not to block any light and create an unwanted shadow. From what I have read it's best to keep the light continuous when photographing insects due to loss of heat. Every few steps I would take the dragonfly would take off then return to the same location moments later. This happened several times. Though this shot was taken with the 100mm 2.8 L macro, I was not in 1x macro mode.
