Hi guys,

I swapped my 50mm 1.4 with a friend for his 60mm Macro today as he's just upgraded to a 5D mkII so can no longer use the EFS lens.

Anyway, totally love this little lens! So much fun to play with. This first pictures were all taken with a 580EX II being handheld on off camera cord, though still using ETTL ;-)a

Here is a test shot which just wow'd me as you can see the machined marks on the end of a biro pen!

The next one is of an adult crested Gecko

This one is of a 3 day old Crested Gecko! He/She is only about 2 inches long

I know I've got a lot to learn in Macro photography such as controling my DOF!! :-( though these were all handheld and for a first atempt I am happy.


Rgds,
Nick.
