[QUOTE="yeatzee, post: 129461, member: 2167"] Ha! thanks guys.. A lot less than you would think. A half decent DSLR is going to cost you near $1000, than a dedicated macro lens like me and kamakiri have can cost anywhere from $400-1000+.... and after that usually comes some type of flash system and so on.... My gear used for this shot = Pentax K200d - cost me $580 new (the camera has since been discontinued. I have just purchased the pentax K-7 which i am awaiting to arrive :D ) Sigma 105mm macro - cost me $380 new, they now go for $480+ Pentax 50mm F/1.7 - cost me $30... its a film era lens. Tape - $3.00 Pentax AF 360 flash - Cost me $130 used Stofen diffuser - $10 TOTAL = $1133 Thats it B) In DSLR terms that pretty dang cheap! Infact the camera alone I just bought, cost me more than that. [/QUOTE]
