Easily the best three. I take it these are using the 4x macro filters, yes? They do an excellent job mate.

i got some close-up filters off ebay some while ago......x1,x2,x4 and macro,a decent little set......decent in that they do the job until i get a decent canon macro lens

I know of what you speak. A macro lens is next on the shopping list. Instead of a Canon I will be buying one of these Tamrons... More bang for the buck as they say. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM vs Tamron SP Autofocus 90mm f/2.8 DI Macro Lens - photo.net

Dammit!! :24: I only guessed because wasps tend to be that size, and thinner. I always seen bees as much larger, plumper etc. Cheers for the info though!

My pleasure and you are welcome.

I've know about that lens for quite a while and it's been on my must buy list for quite a while. I would have bought it sooner but I've spent about 4k on gear in the last year alone. My next purchase is a 1.4X multiplier, then the Tamron. It was recommended to me by a fellow photog friend that knows a hell of a lot more than me and also owns one. After seeing some of his shots and researching it thoroughly I know it will come before a Canon macro. Don't get me wrong as I'm a dyed in the wool canon guy but I know a good deal when I see one. It's also supposed to be a darn good portrate lens for those that like to shoot people. I don't but I know I'll find other uses for it. It's supposed to be sharp as a tack.
