I use a Panasonic FZ50 camera (R4700 4 years ago) and a Raynox DCR-250 macro lens(R490 back then) - a very low budget kit for poor oke's like me.
If you want similar results with a DSLR(Canon), you need to get a MP-E65mm lens - only about R10 000 or so..... :S

Here's a pic of My Rig .

Awesome... I have the same
I think my home-made diffuser needs replacing with proper lighting

The link is blocked at work, but will check it out from home tonight.

Hannes, I've got a couple of local roaches, most of them various unidentified species. You're welcome to take a couple of shots of them some time

Some excellent photos, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I was kinda hoping one of you guys in the Pretoria area would let me snap a few pics of your T's for my website. I've been crawling around in bushes and gardens with my bum in the air for over 4 years and you don't sommer find them everywhere....

Hannes find someone who has a permit for our Baboon T's and snap some of them too...

Hannes, before I blow smoke up your trousers, let me say welcome!!

You are truely talented mate, had a look at your website and was alternating between stunned and sad. I was so desperately looking for a Tarantula, maybe I just missed it...

I have a photgenic spider or two in my collection of six. You are very welcome to bring your Canon and shoot some.

Bring some tissue paper, don't want drool in my T room. :laugh:
