[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 72384, member: 206"] Looking pretty good. All I can add is maybe to grab a set of extension tubes, these push the lens further away from your camera which increases the projected image circle resulting in a increase in magnification. I had a quick search on ebay and something like this would be fine - [url]http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221417322261[/url] there is no glass in extension tubes so cheap ones are just as effective as expensive ones - just make sure they carry the electronic contacts as Canon EF has no mechanical linkage for aperture. I use extension tubes on my Pentax with a 100mm dedicated macro lens which is extremely effective. Oh yeah another thing re lighting, you can never have too much. I have a couple of flashes and off camera radio triggers and umbrellas and what not and whilst I don't always use it it all gets used depending on what I am photographing. [/QUOTE]
