<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2228315, member: 19165&quot;]Here is my setup. I have a Canon T3i body, with a 100mm Canon Macro lens. The camera is plugged in with the AC adapter, and I&#039;ve got the USB tether to my computer (which is on the floor just to the left). </p><p><br /></p><p>I have the ability to use 4 lights, but usually only use 2 or 3. One of these has a 60W light, the others have 100W, all of which are GE Reveal lights. These give a nice, bright, white light. </p><p><br /></p><p>The copy stand is also incredibly important. I went with an Albinar 28&quot; heavy duty stand - which provides an adjustable height and a sturdy, vibration free mount. </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole setup can be expensive (I spent a little under $1k), but there are definitely cheaper options. The best places to save money are on the copy stand (you can get a pretty good one for half of what I spent), and the macro lens (I went with a pretty good lens, various third party manufacturers make more affordable lenses - or you can experiment with a homemade bellows setup for a very small sum). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]437687[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
