ruisjz Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi Shrimpmaniacs So, i have buy some months an Canon 700D to take some photos of my aquariuns, but unfortunately the thing is not so simple. I know i will need some equipment, i already have search some flash, trigers new lents (I have the kit and one 70-300 from Sigma). How do you guys take photos? What equipment you use? Cheap equipment do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The 70-300 sounds like a zoom lens. Zoom lens won't work well for macro-photography. I would recommend looking for a 1:1 dedicated macro lens. It's what I use. I know a few others uses reverse rings and such. Maybe they can chime in to better assist you and provide you with a better idea of what to get. Regarding the body itself, I've never used a canon so I cannot comment. My camera is a FujiFilm X-T1 and my macro lens is the Carl Ziess touit 50mm macro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaquacrs Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 My camera is Canon 7D and lens is 100mm F2.8LWhen you take a shot at shrimps, you must have a flash light too. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm using my 70d canon with 17-40mm lens, I've bought macro zoom extension lens set with 4 lenses different zoom, it's screw on main lens to allow you make close up pictures. I know it's not ideal but quite cheap. You can still make good pictures. I don't like using flash I have strong led light in all my shrimp tanks.

Great shots, maybe I shouldn't have given up on the Canon 100mm lens as quickly as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eozen81 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have been using Canon 60D with 18-55 kit lens. But I am using reverse ring as macro lenses are not affordable for me + wired trigger. A few samples below of my shots (a good light is crucial of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
