For sure! Thanks to Jason (Senna4ever) and his macro shots, I got into it too. :D I picked up a Canon 100mm macro lens a while back and I love it! And now Canon came out with the new version of it, 100mm L series lens with IS! *droooool*

One of my old shots:

I was saving up for a 70-200mm 2.8L IS
but the 100mm 2.8L IS Macro suddenly got much more appealing..

Ahhhh what to do...

Macro is alot of fun forsure! Looks like your on to a great start! If your interested i'm selling the most powerful macro setup money can buy for Canon. MPE-65mm and a mr-14ex ring flash. You can play with the setup too if you like, its pretty crazy!

I wish that MPE-65 had autofocus. I'd be all over that!

Would u like to try it out sometime niforpix? :P Auto focus is useless from 1:1 on really..

We have one in the rentals department.

If stupid Canon would put slow speed AF like some other camera bodies, AF would be perfectly feasible.

Haha I'm ok, thanks. Like Senna said, we've got one in rentals. I'm surprised I haven't tried it yet :p

here is one of my first few shot of macro please let me know what i can do to improve it thanks.

Nice shots! Could use some more DOF though! Keep it up!

i was wondering how you guys get so close up to the object without the blackhole i had to flip my 50mm on a 35-70mm and i get the black hole around the object.

^ are you saying you are using 2 lenses at the same time? with one reversed?

You know you are only supposed to use the one right?

I googled it.

First thing that came up. http://stephenelliot.com/2007/05/15/...aphy-tutorial/

77Civic, its lens-reversing. Two lenses, a 50mm reversed on another lens works great! Don't know why your getting a black hole though. Hmm..

Read the link boostslut found - I would say the black hole is caused by the focal lengths... I don't know how to explain it, but I imagine it being something like "looking through a tube"

In other words, try messing about with the lengths a bit

^^ "boostslut" not "bootslut" lol

LOL.. thanks niforpix! Everyone always uses "boot" lol.. Alot of people don't understand my user name either, or think i'm a slutty female with a boot fetish or something! hahaha!

Ah, shit. I'm not hitting on you anymore.

Sorry for the major mistake man! corrected :D
I kind of understand it because you drive a Stage 1 WRX!!

You're welcome lol :D

yeah I don't know why either with the black hole i put both of the lense to infinity maybe my hand is not really good at handling the second lense lol

My current set-up: 5DmkII + Nikon 55mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor. Gonna test it out tomorrow!

does that setup only allow manual focus and control? which adapter are you using?

I'm using the Novoflex EOS to F Mount adapter. It's a little expensive at about $250, but it's extremely well made, unlike the shitty $50 ones you can get on e-bay. As the lens is a 30 year old manual focus lens, there is no AF, but AF is useless anyway in macro photography. Exposure is via stop down metering.

Post some up Senna let's see the magic!

The bokeh of the Nikon lens is awesome. Didn't get any shots, as I ran out of light. Here are some scanned Velvia 50 slides taken with a Nikon F4s and the 55mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor.
