I'm planning on buying an alternative lens but this is determined on how much I can reasonably expect to get from the sale of my FA28-2.8...

Can't seem to find any listed on that auction site just wondering how much they're going for right now?

Depending on the feedback I receive this lens may or may not be for sale soon...

Do you use the lid as a diffuser?
Its a rough and ready one with a rubber band and either tracing paper or a hanky.

I've angled the output so it is more down than forward thus the lid doesn't fit.
I'm with you... Going to try this soon!!

Diffused ringflash works for me
How do you diffuse ring flash without covering the lens? (this is possibly a stupid question isn't it?)

Just wondered how some of you light up your macro shots...

I've tried off-camera flash and onboard flash using a DIY tubelike director thing (kitchen roll tube lined with foil...)

Both with mixed results (and no keepers as yet...) Seems I do best with natural light...

So, how do you light up your macros?

The third is my favourite and also appears to be slightly sharper than one and two... Good work!

True. I was warned about a particular member (who is ominously absent from the rest of the forum) by a regular face. Good thing too as I may have been £200 down...

I've sold through it with no problems... I'll only sell to UK residents though... Partly through paranoia and partly because it's just much less hassle...
Haven't bought anything as yet... Seems to be lots of nice bits when I'm skint but not so much when I've cash to burn...
