Just rented a Canon 100mm to see if I would be happy with buying it, wow, it is amazing, I am about to setup the tripod and see what I can get done, but while I am doing that, show me some of your eye candy to look at when I finish up.

First time out with a macro lens, not bad, definitely going to pick one of these up, still lots to learn, but I loved it.

Fruit Loops




Acan Lord


Strawberry mille




Green and gold mille


Asterina starfish


Cleaner Shrimp


Forrest green and purple mille, only some of the feeders are purple, hard to get the color right on this one

Wow!
Really cool.
I'm trying to convince myself to buy one but the cost is so prohibitive...
How many corals can I buy for $599! Lol

Go to your camera store and ask about some extension tubes.
I bought some cheap ones and believe it or not they are not half bad!

Totally get where you're coming from with the extension tubes, but I do not have a problem buying used glass, I have seen these for 3-400 used, Kenko extension tubes are a bit over 100, and even if I just got a nifty fifty, that's around $250 for both of those, I do not mind paying 100 extra for this lens, it was heaven to shoot with.

your shots are awesome, particularly that clam siphon.. the clam siphon looks like an alien planet in that photo...
