Thank you very much for answering me! I just bought a macro 100mm L canon too. I'm loving it.

hi... im using a Canon 600D (aka Rebel T3i) with either a Canon 100mm L lens or Canon 75-300mm lens... with or without a Raynox DCR250 attached (depends on size of subjects)... a Canon 270EX speedlite (diffused)... a DIY light bounce & light diffuser.! and just for robberflies... a light reflector is used to illuminated the lower part of the flies... and this is attached to the bottom of the lens on the front end.!
