Hey dgd,
I'm new as well to the forum. I have to ask, how do you like the k20d? I have a k100d but just ordered the 20d online. I'm really excited to start using it.
Greetings from the U.S.A. specifically Michigan (where it's as cold as my last relationship). I have always wanted to visit Australia. It's one of my dreams to hold a Kola Bear.

The K20 D is a joy. Shooting in RAW is liberating. Exporting to Corel or Photoshop is incredibly easy especially if you're exporting from the Photo lab. Also, if you're shooting JPGS there is not as much loss of resolution as in some other cameras, despite all the hype about other brands. I've just ordered the battery grip as continuous shooting uses up battery life fairly quickly.

Hello dgd - welcome to the forum. 
You'll probably get a better response to equipment-related questions if you start a new thread in either the Lighting or Lenses sub-forums - there are plenty of experts on here who'll be happy to give you advice.

Hi David,
Welcome to the forum.
What do you preciesly want for shots.
A lot of depth or a flat image and what do you want to capture from the eye (small or large iris)?
It would be best to start a new topic in another sub-section of this forum as already suggested.

Using a K20 D. Very happy with it. Raw - love it! I'm an artist working in painting drawing and digital media. I want to take some very close up shots of faces - skin and eyes - any suggestions on macros and lighting would be really appreciated. Cheers all. P.S. I live in Australia - nothing like the film!
