Considering the razor thin DoF with full frame, i'd be reluctant to go with a crop ! although, i've just ordered a rail, so maybe it doesn't really matter :)

i did spot that after my searching but i am also after, as you've noticed, a bit more on equipment used to achieve shots. How do people protect their lenses when doing falling water droplet shots? skylight filter?

I've done a few searches and not come up with anything useful, but I know there are loads of macro shooters out there ;) I've just got my first macro lens, an MP-E 65mm - here's one of my first shots... Anyway, I was wondering what equipment others use? - Camera/macro lens(es)? -...
