A Sigma 105mm macro will be fine for what you want unless you are thinking of a magnification of more than 1:1. I would suggest you get hold of a cheap external flash and a diffuser of some kind (or ring flash if you are feeling well off) as lighting is an important part of macro and can make the difference between an ordinary shot and a great one.

I wonder what effects the price rises will have on second hand prices.

As most people seem to price their lenses on a percentage of the new price I would presume they will rise pro rata

Maybe now it the time to buy up their stock and sell it off on eBay in a few months and double your money

Well I would just go back to buying from the USA, it was half the price before the exchange rates going through the floor and after the rises will be again.

Would be interested to know if you can lift individual frames from the video and if you can how good/bad the result.

I was wondering this a few weeks ago so I downloaded a 720p rip of the film deathrace and then did a screen grab to jpg.

The K-7 apparently comes with completely revamped processing software and is supposedly much better.

I cant see why they cannot include an option to turn SDM off so that in a situation like this you could at least use screw drive.
