Great shots George - Whats lens did you use ???

True, but very interesting to read about the techniques you use Mark. ;-)

Hi, Having a play with my new 100mm macro over the weekend and got this image of a bumble bee, not sure which type though, maybe Darrel could shed some light on this...

However at around £750-£850 the 'L' series 100mm macro costs a lot of money and most reviews seem to think the (non-is) lens is better for half the price. I guess the (non-is) will also keep it value based in it's reputation.

Thanks for sharing those, really great pictures. Just have to save up the money now to get 100mm macro, best price I've seen so far is Jessops at £449

Wow, just goes to show what can be done with a bit of ingenuity.

OMG - That is amazing :-D How did you do that ?

very nice, Just wondering if the images you took are effected by the body at all and how they will look on a 450d with the 100mm lens? I guess there will not be a great difference...

Hi George, Just out of interest, what Canon body do you use? Cheers Steve

Do you guys think I'll need a lens hood for the lens? Does it help much with macro work?

Yes thats the picture of the fly I meant. mmm, so it seems the 100mm will be okay without a flash, and Saintly was right if I get the 100mm (non IS) then I will be able to get the flash at a later date and still end up spending less that just buying the 100mm IS lens. Just have to find a place...

Thank for info guys much appreciated. It looks like the 100mm non is is the one to get and then maybe get a flash later. The 450 d is a 1.6x DSLR that is compatible with the EF-S Canon Lens, however you are right, if i get the EF-S 60mm then this will not work on some of the more expensive...

Thanks for the link, He states the 100mm is the best lens, even better than the 100mm IS L lens. However he does state that you need a flash with 100mm (non IS) lens. This will be my first lens (apart from the kit lens). I enjoy taking macro photos (well as much as you can with the kit lens)...

Hi, Oh, that's the 1:5 macro lens - Very nice! Could you let me know what you think advantages and disadvantages are of the 60mm and 100mm non IS lens? Do you think the 100mm would be better? Would the 100mm need a tripod and or flash as it's a non IS lens? I'm conscious that with the 60mm...

Hi, I'd like to get a macro lens for my Canon 450d, I'm thinking of either the EF-S 60mm USM or the EF 100mm USM lens, or possibly the EF 100mm L IS USM if people think this is the way to go. I'm a bit concerned that if I opt for the non IS 100mm macro that I will need to use a tripod a lot...

The lens I have is f3.5 at 18mm, so I'll try and keep apeture to 3.5 and have a play :-) Thanks for the advice.

Thanks George. I was trying to keep the ISo setting to about 200, as the higher up you go the more "Noise" creeps into the picture. However at ISO200 I found I needed to keep the shutter open for 1/3 sec which meant the fish were blurred :-( If I increase the shutter speed then not as much...

Hi, I've got a Canon 450d with the standard 18-55mm IS lens and was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on the settings I should use whilst taking photos of my tanks? Cheers
