I Needed a good macro lense. After looking at some magazine reviews, I
bought Sigma EX 105 DG /F2.8 Macro

I'm considering purchasing a lighting kit.  I need a good book, does anyone

thoughts about possible camera choices  - I was considering the Sony
Alpha, Canon 400D, Canon 30D and Nikon D80.

I recently purchased an Olympus E500 2 lense kit and a Lowepro Nova 1
AW to lug it around. I have found the bag to work for the time being,
but I am going to be purchasing a Manfrotto 725B tripod and also plan
on doing more photography while hiking the nearby foothills and
