I've been wanting to do some super macro for awhile, but I wanted to get some advice from some people in here before I go out an buy a reversal ring. I've got: 70-200 f2.8 IS 24-70 f.28 50 f1.4 10-22 3.5-4.5 I also have the Canon 500D Close-Up Filter. What kind of focal distance would I be looking at? I'd probably want to go the 70-200 and 10-22 route, since I think that would get me the most magnification. Should I use the close-up filter, or not put it on?

Yeah, it removes your ability to infinity focus. But other than that, it's pretty darn fantastic.

seravid posted:How "super" do you want to go? How much magnification and what kind of subjects? Well, maybe I shouldn't have said super. I would at least a 5:1, and would like to do insect macros, as well as just trying to get super close on everyday things.

I just got my sigma 105 from keh yesterday, at like new quality for $300. unfortunately, I get a lens communication error after every shot. I have an email in to sigma to see if it needs rechipped to work with my 7D/5Dmk2. I wanted to use it for saturdays wedding, too.

I got a Canon 100mm Macro. From a 5dmk2 - click for big:  The colors are a bit off, but this was just screwing around and trying my first hand at true macro / stacking, so I'm not terribly concerned.
