Keep calling Pentax out and you'll be hearing from their ring leader soon haha.

Here's a pic to get this thread back on track.

OhhhH my back is aching!
what is the F stop on this one? I couldn't see the detail of the picture.
Flash light? or the tank light only?

BTW, The M42 mount SMC 50MM 1.4 with bellow, is a good Macro combo.

Read the last line.....and ask your 60D if it's feeling lucky!

Remember the 1992 Olympics.
don't remember what camera, I think it is Canon EOS1? a turning point for Canon because it is glass(L lenses).

and the 2004 Olympics.
EOS1D. Over 70% register photographers.

Fotki strips the EXIF data once I upload, which sucks... I know.

I think that one was shot at f/20 or f/18
use smaller aperture, and flash light as aid, you can increase the DOF, the shrimp and the fine leaves plant will be more crispy look.

I think I need to get back to the photography hobby, and need more practice.

Got a new flash transmitter after lost the original one for a long time, now I have one camera with four flash receivers, looks like two more flash lights needed.

and put my pentax smc lens and bellow into use.

what is going on? another soon to be push out by Nikon, model 6D?
what is the major break through?
looks like the glories in 90s and 2000s, are gone.

Optical lenses are where the most profit come from, but losing the battle on the cameras will hurt the future sale on optical...

A year after I bought the EOS Kiss X4, I realized that I had invested N times more than the camera alone, on lenses. :hihi:

Will be looking into that and a tripod this week. When in manual, how do you enable flash?

off camera flash, you can get a pair of transmitter and receiver, and a light diffuser sort of setup for the flash.
place the flash on top of the fish tank, find the right angle and distance.

Macro is not necessary if you have a tripod and tele(zoom) lens, remember you can crop the picture, your camera is 18mp, take advantage of it.

always try manual mode, move the flash around, take some shots to find the right exposure, adjust the aperture and flash distance/angle(for DOF), use flash as exposure light source. The fish tank plant light can be on all time so you can see the objects(for focus) in your tank, but not for exposure light source.

lens is 180MM Tamron Macro. Actually took the picture at about 5ft away from the congo tetra, so it was a Tele lens instead of Macro when I took the picture.

In addition to my Canon Power Shot A590 P&S, I've just ordered a used Canon Digital Rebel T2i and a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom to go with it. The prices finally came down low enough for me to afford these. I'll probably have to get a memory card and a carrying case for it too. Can't wait until it gets here.
You are late to the game, lol.
It is a nice camera, a lot of learning though, if you want to impress others.
Mine is the kiss X4, the T2i japanese version, bought it before the T2i appeared in the US.

Know how to play with the light, is the fundamental, this apply to any dslr.
