Nice shots. That is a real (not so much anymore) "sleeper" lens. Under $100 and tac sharp. Excellent lens image quality on that puppy. I've read many good things about it. I opted for Canon's 50mm f/2.8 macro and the 20D. The 1.6x crop factor of the 20D worked out well for the 50mm macro IMO (80mm =). The high ISO speeds and low noise of that Canon are wonderful for low light tank shots.

Do you have a macro for that body? I would have liked the 100mm macro..but don't shoot all that much close up work...and that price tag was a bit much. I'm instead saving up for a 300mm or 400mm f/2.8 to shoot other wildlife. 8O That thing is ALMOST as expensive as an aquarium. :lol: :lol: :wink:

I still don't know, so I'm sticking to my "mimic tang" answer The two species of Mimic tangs are highly variable in morphology.

Anyone ever tried the reverse lense trick for real hot'n'heavy macro work?

ie- sticking a 25 or 50mm lens backwards before a standard kit lens or another macro lens?

I've been reading more about it, and if that lens is under $100, I bet it would be ideal! Of course, a 60+inverted 50 would only give you about 1.001:1, but thats still not bad.

Anyone?

btw- NICE SHOTS!
