I finally got my Canon EOS 30D and Sigma 150 mm macro lens. The 350D was far too small for my hands. My latest submitted photos from late july and august is taken with this setup. I still have a lot to learn how to use this camera. I have no external flashlight yet. I think I will get either the ringlight from Canon or the corresponding Sigma ringlight. I'll get the MP-E 65* (x1-5x) later and hopefully the ringlights will work with both the 150 mm and the 65 mm ... One thing I have realized is I can't take 150 mm photos without my tripod. I have been thinking about a monopod, but I don't really think this will be steady enough because the depth of field is so narrow.

* I'm not really sure this is of any use outdoors, but I need the 1x-5x magnification for all the small insects.
