Shot this close-up detail on the bug and the curly leafs of a palm variety with the Nikor 35mm mounted in reverse using a BR-2A reversing ring on Nikon D7100.

I had to open the aperture manually with my finger by moving the aperture clip (looking at the dof it might be close to f/11, maybe more), other camera settings were 1/160s, Exposure bias -0.7, ISO800. This is about 3.5 times life size.

Another picture of the leaf in the discussion thread to get an idea of the magnitude of magnification.
