Very good pics of some nice specimens. Just out of curiosity, why did you shoot with such a high ISO? Not familiar with the D70, does it go down to 100?

Well the lowest it goes is 200. I recently bought a sb-600 flash unit and was experimenting with the settings between camera and flash. If you believe it, this was taken with a flash. The 600 can be fired off of the camera(wireless). Guess I should have put that in there lol.

Yeah I love mine! Right now I am using the sigma 28-90 and 70-300 both with macro functions. All though I hear the best macro lens you can buy is the Nikon 105mm.

Ok, I will go out tomorrow and search for the 105mm. I have the 70-300 and a smaller lense, Im actually not sure what it is???

The only thing that I dont like about the 70-300 is that you can't be right up to them. You have to be about 4-5 feet away. Although the shot is amazing, it gives those fast geckos a chance to run!

Thanks Erik

Is this the lense that you were talking about: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat31000050011&id=1077626938904 . If so I will stop by Best Buy tomorrow and see if they have one and if they do I will pick it up!

As long as it is one of the best macro zoom lenses that there is as I want to by one and not have to buy acouple! although after looking at the specs online I think I would really like the lense!

Thanks Erik

Thats not it. The 105 is a prime lens. Heres the link.

Yeah the 600 is nice. I decided that the 800 was not worth the extra $150. I want to pic up another 600 and I think I would be set.

For macro shooting I would suggest steering clear of zoom lens. I did the same thing, I bought zoom macro lens, for my canon 20D, which don’t get me wrong is a really really great lens just not good for macro. It’s an efs17-85mm with image stabilizer cost me $600; here is a link to it http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=149&modelid=10511. Then I bought a sigma 28mm 1:1.8 EX DG Macro cost $400, here is a link to this one http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3282&navigator=4, and I can get tighter shots with that 28mm than I could get with my canon lens zoomed to 85mm. I can focus up to 1.5” away from the subject with this lens, its great I love it. i think you can get a NiKon mount for that lens as well.

Should I have a herp photography forum? I think I love photographing my herps as much as having them. Let me know what you guys think.
