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!

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

^ 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

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.
