What I would really like is a cool die crack coin, but the best I have is this...
This is a Canon EOS digital camera with a specialty macro lens, the 65mm 1X-5X lens. For these pictures, I believe it was set at 3X. It's on a camera stand with electronic flashes for illumination.

That's the lense with the built in bellows thingy? I was looking at that lense but it's like $700 and I couldn't justify spending that on a lense. Also, is that the MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite setup? I was looking at that as well, but it costs as much as the lense everywhere I looked. Nice setup but it was too expensive for my

I think it's in one of Marks blogs but he has a cheaper way of making one with used equipment off of e-bay.

I think the lense pictured is the Canon MP-E, it's a unique macro lense that goes from 1x to 5x. I've been sooo tempted to buy one but they're very expensive. But there are very few alternatives (bellow-wise) for a Canon SLR. Also, the reverse mounting doesn't work nearly as well with canon lenses because they are auto, or at least i think this is the case...

I was wondering if this picture belongs in the crusty gold thread or the close up photo thread. I chose this one.
These are 10 second exposures where I held a compact fluorescent light and moved it around to simulate multiple light sources. I didn't white-balance it very carefully.
