I have ordered a Canon EOS 30D several weeks ago, but Canon seems to have trouble delivering cameras ... Well, back to the subject. I also ordered a Sigma 150mm macro and I'm wondering about the need for a tripod etc. I have a good tripod and video head, but I'm not sure if it is suitable for insect photography. Perhaps it would be better with just a monopod? That would at least be faster. I'm also not sure if I can shoot freehand with 150mm and a flash ... Any thoughts on this subject? If I should get a flash. What's best for 30D and a 150mm lens.
