Mmmm.... Nice looking setup man!
By the way, what camera is that? 40D?Coming from a Nikon guy here.

Thanks! And no, it's the 400D (Rebel XTi). I could choose between getting the 40D (body only) and the 100mm macro lens, and getting the 400D (with the kit lens), 100mm macro and ring flash. Since I work taking macro pics and lighting is always a big challenge, it was a no brainer.
As soon as I get the macro lens I'll post a few pics

Looking forward to seeing them. I'm sure that'll provide you some good lighting

Well, I still have to read the manual* and practice a lot, but I will most definitely post them here!
*Thank goodness for the manual. The ring flash has almost as many buttons as my DSLR!
maybe im a huge jerk but can you keep really bad mockups out of this thread? ps2p? ugh its such a bad mockup. a common complaint about psp is lack of dual analog sticks. now going down to one? yeah right.
I just got mine with my new Mac - I'm in love. I wish I would have gotten one when they first came out!!
Mine sticks as well. The Macbook uses magnets to close unlike the MBP which uses a latch to close. You should know since you have a MB...
Hah, I looked at your post & wondered for a moment why the hell has he got a ring flash on the stock lens?!. I love my 100mm macro, but I haven't used it anywhere near enoughNow I just have to wait for the 100mm f2.8 Macro lens to get here next week
People are always shocked at how much the thing extends as you turn the focus ring!
Oh, as am I. The new Apple keyboard, second to ex-my T41, is the best keyboard I've ever typed on! I have the wired one, if they made a BT one with a number pad I'd be in. It just looks weird without one, IMHO. I don't know why.
No, no... Getting the ring flash was a decision I made after getting the 100mm macro. I love my 100mm macro, but I haven't used it anywhere near enough
I assume you have the old, non-USM version, because the new one is an IF (internal focus) lens. And yes, you should use it more often! I used a macro lens with my Canon S1 IS and loved it! I've taken over 30K macro pics in the last two years, so I felt that a macro lens was the first thing I'd buy if I ever got a DSLR.
No, I have a 100mm macro, but not the same as yours. I use M-series K-mount Pentax gear, so my lenses are all Pentax M series (apart from a couple of cheapies).
Awful photos I know, but demonstrates what I meant by how much the focus extends the element!
Also, kit lenses sure ain't what they used to be either;

Nice set up! I have a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 105 mm macro lens and Sigma ring flash. I'm a dentist, so I use my camera for one thing only - intraoral/dental photography.
Oh. Sorry about that, the only macro lenses I had researched when buying a DSLR were from Sigma, Tamron, Nikon and Canon, and only Canon had a 100mm macro lens.
BTW, that lens must scare little critters! Thank goodness for IF!
How's that working for you? I've heard it's a great combo for that kind of photography.
Worst thing is when I forget to turn the winder off, the motor is rather noisy...BTW, that lens must scare little critters! Thank goodness for IF!
