NIce pictures. Anyone looking for a bandsaw, I would check out the Speedster XL Diamond Blade Bandsaw. I used the Inland and switched and would never go back to the inland. I love the water resevoir one the speedster XL, less Coral dust when cutting.

agreed. same thing here. i like the speedsters MUCH better

to stay on topic though. congrats on the new camera. your in for a world or hurt. you think reefing it expensive? wiat till you get into getting all sorts of lenes lol

You got that right Elite. I have been shopping for lenses to replace my 18-55mm and WHOA they are expensive. The 105mm Micro is like $900. It's the one I want.

 

[Myteemouse]

the macro I'm looking at is the canon 100mm macro for 550$
just as much as the camera!

 

[Myteemouse]

Its nice, but the one above is really nice!

the one above?? the magician palys??
It looked blurry to me?!?
I don't know/..
I like super clear pics along with color and details!

i would open up your DOF aperture settings just a bit to bring more of the coral into focus but oevr all looking good
