I posted a photo on the Gallery today of a spider using one of those slip on macro lenses.
I've taken lots of macros of lots of spiders but never seen one doing that

My advice, get a set of tubes with contacts, a 50mm lens with an aperture ring and a decent hotshoe flash with manual settings preferably with a swivelling hotshoe mount so you can change the angle. The secret to great macro photography is light.

This is the gear of one of the most prominent macro photographers in the world, Thomas Shahan. Take a look around his site for some inspiration.

And only manual focus apparently, maybe that's why it's so cheap

Very true, I can'r understand why the latest flash Pentax brought out doesn't take the same batteries as the K-7 or 5 or 3. And why their entire range of DSLR cameras cannot use the same ones too.
