Yes indeed, vary patient and cooperative as well

lol if only they were not covered in dust and looking rather dessicated i would pick them over their live kin anyday lol.

BTW, do you use the 180L with the mt24ex? If so are you able to handhold it without shake>? Im finding much lower success than i had with my mpe, i know this is all to be expected, but i was just curious if anyone else had a similar problem.

thanks.

I think Dante and calicokat should be banned to come to this forum, they tempting all members to get all canon gears.
I will not come here later in the future so i don't want to temp others.
Congrats on that super macro lens, Need shots.

And blowing the dust off just tears their wings off I do not have the mt24ex, I have been experimenting with two 580ex's so far. I will let you know how this goes

I am still young, and you are young as well, but Dante is old i think.
When i will be old enough the first thing i will think to do is to buy CANON manufacturer.

Dante is actually a 14 year old kid that lives at home, this is his alter ego

So far, its tough. I was thinking of the ring light eventually. Any one have experience with the 14 ringlight

I've heard it's very good, but i've also heard that it can be a little flat, lol note the ambiguity there, i've seen alot of great pics with it.

Hmm, so you would recommend the twin light over the ring light

Calicokat,

Outstanding glass both the lens and the subject matter That lens is tack sharp!

I bought the EF 100 MACRO and I used it to document my wife's jewerly collection for insurance purposes. What a great excuse to buy a new lens

i honestly couldn't say, i've never used the ring light. I can give the twin a good endorsement though, i wish the flash duration could be shorter though as with the 180 i can still get camera shake when the flash is the sole illumination.
