Dear danski0224
Yes, My TS-E 24 mm. F/ 3.5 L MK II is great for Macro Photos too, This Lens have Min. Focus Distant = 0.21 M or 0.69 FT. That great for the Macro of Flowers in this distant. But if you want more bigger Macro of the Insect, Canon Extension tube EF 12 II is recommend, BUT Canon Co. do not recommend EF 25 II Because the Lens - to-subject distant will be too close.
The Attached Photos are by TS-E 24 mm II( No Extension Tube), Hand Held Shooting.
Enjoy

Ps. Pic. TS-4 is 200% Enlarged and Crop
Nice pictures, Mr Surapon.
I suppose they are more of a "close-up" rather than macro, correct?
I noticed "hand held" above. Do you use the viewfinder or live view? Given your comments in another thread about TSE lenses, I suspect you are proficient in their use
What did you use to enlarge the TS-4 photo and then crop it?
Looks like I have to mess around a bit with a TSE lens...
Dear danski0224.
You are right, TS-E Lens are great / Sharp Lens, But not made for Macro Photography, If You want to get up so close to the Subject such as Insects for 1:1 Photos , We need to use EF 100 mm L ( or MK I/ No L ) For Closer---But When the Bees or Hornet are Hungry, I will use EF 180 mm. F/ 3.5 L Macro, to shoot 1:1 Picture, but far away from the Angry Bees---Ha, Ha, Ha----Yes, If I want to kiss the insect's head ( 1-5X), I must use Canon MP-E 65 mm. F/ 2.8 1-5X Macro= From the Lens to the insect's head = 0.5 Inches distant.
For TS-4, I use TSE to take the bigger Details, And Crop the Partial of the Sun Flower, to get Closer to the Insect---But If I use EF 100 MM. Macro Lens, I just shoot the Part of Flower and = Bing-Go.
The question " I noticed "hand held" above. Do you use the viewfinder or live view? "= When I shoot with hand held, I use View Finder all the time, But, If The Camera on the Big Tripods, Yes, LCD Live View that I can use Manual focus, and 1- 10 X on the LCD view.
Have a great Night.
