PM's not working, not sure why. I tried sending you this.... Hi Les You said if I had any questions that I could ask you, so, I have one :) I was just looking around for Kenko extension tubes and saw this set on eBay Now I know they don't work with Canon EFS lenses but that's ok as...

Nice shots, I'm really looking forward to getting my lens, I'm like a little kid at Christmas lol. It will be my first proper macro lens and I'm very excited. Thanks for the welcome.

Got my 550D yesterday :) Loving it. I bought a Sigma 105mm EX DG f2.8 macro lens which comes with a Marumi DRF14C Macro Ring Flash for £230. I'm not sure the flash ring will work with a 550D as it's not a model mentioned on the makers website. I will find out on Tuesday though. Can't wait for...

I should have a Canon 550D (body only) in the post tomorrow :) I got a Sigma 70-300mm about a week or so ago for £80 in mint condition. I just need a 1:1 macro lens now.

Liveview, no need to look through the viewfinder. Yes I adjusted it.

I cannot get on with the 400D at all, being a glasses wearer and having to use the viewfinder only makes me feel dizzy and sick after just a couple of minutes use. So, I will be selling the 400D and replacing it with a 550D which is what I should have got in the first place!

Righto, a Canon 400D with kit lens and battery should be with me in a few days time, I already have a rather nice tripod. I need a macro lens now, maybe a Sigma 90mm, however, I am going to try a reversing ring to start with and see what photos that produces, I've seen some promising shots here...

Only have a Boa, reason......I have a wife :lol: Thanks, I took no end of water droplet shots that day, timing is everything, but then again so is getting the focus spot on :D

Thanks mate. What snake/s do you have?

Evening all. I'm new here but not new to photography as such, on an amateur level anyway. I haven't done much in the way of photography for a few years now. My last camera which I still have but don't use is a Fuji S602 Zoom, old yes, but I took some lovely shots with it when I used to use it...
