I would love to see a red bug infested frag that close :blink:

:thanks:

Erm.. no thanks. No red bugs for me - you can keep them! :P

If I buy a Canon G5, can take this type of photo or not?

Not sure if you can get close enough with a G5. If you manage to take the pic very sharply focused you may be able to zoom in and see a lot of details.

The above was taken with a Canon SLR & 100mm Macro lens which enabled focusing down to a few cms from the lens.

I'll have a go with the coral capturing some rotifiers later, maybe a series of timed shots to see the action, should be interesting!

hi Tuan,

Are you using Canon 10D or 300D? Or the best 1D?

You should be able to get the same result from the 300D. Not far off the 10D technically.

For fishy pics, EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

For macro work, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

For the 300D, the EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 is pretty good value for money, but you'll love the "EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM".

Don't forget a good ballhead and sturdy tripod ;)

Oh, the 2 SLRs you mentioned have a 1.6x cropping factor. Pop in a 2X TC on the macro lens, you have a 2:1 more than life size subject. Wow!!! Almost like microscope.

Have fun exploring, it will be fun. ;)
