Hi All,

I'm looking at getting a Macro Lens (i'm thinking either the Sigma 105mm or Sigma 150mm EX DG) and am going to venture (for personal uses/fun use) into a few 'stock photography' type shots. You know how it goes, with the white backgrounds of coins, or small animals etc.

Anyway, I understand I am going to need a Lightbox. I have seen a few tutorials on the internet on how to make one... But I want to know if anyone here has actually made one, and how they got on with it?

Edit: Or would I be better off getting one of those fabric pop-up light tents for £30 from eBay?

Thanks!
Amnesia

Wow! Thanks for those :)

The only problem I am having is finding out the best sort of lights to buy... I'm guessing any halogen light will be okay?
