Is that a pure white one in a snow storm?

Definitely a bit weird doc.
Woof
I blinked first...
I found these wonderful toadstools at Brockholes, the local nature reserve on the outskirts of Preston, Lancashire, in the semi-deciduous woodlands. I couldn't see the sprinkling until I examined my image on the screen on my EOS 70D, and more-so, properly when back home at the computer. I'm not sure what it is sprinkled on the caps of the toadstools, but it really made a difference to the image (imagine it without that!).

very good, kidda!
i've just got me the 100mm macro too...should arrive next week. for wide i'm using the 12-24 from sigma, and the tele end just the 2.8/200L prime. standard zoom's the tamron 28-75, with the 2/24 nikkor and 1.4/50 takumar as manual walkarounds, and the 8/500 MTO for long ting.
used to use your 5dii, but got the 6d now as i needed superhigh-iso video for dark n dirty clubs.
6D and 70D share the same technology - but the video is awesome on the 70D - the focus pulling is brilliant - just like watching scenes on the telly.
My lenses only total four. The kit 18-135 STM IS (which is surprisingly good and fast to focus), the old nifty fifty, my 100mm macro, and my only L series kens is the 70-200L f/4.
I have tubes to increase macro as well of course for the ultra close shots. Wish list would be the 100-400L, and an MPE-65. Both dreams sadly...

So you've got the 5DII and 70D?
I use the classic 1D (Mark 1) as my second Canon cam (the munching hamsters were with that). I do a lot of video at times too, so might need a more modern Canon as back-up. Will check out what the 70D offers then, but a grand for a backup camera is a bit steep for me, i reckon.
I'm also chasing the MPE Macro...it's totally unique! The 100-400 You don't really need to get. Just get the Kenko C-AF 2X Teleplus Pro 300 DGX green-dot version (specifically that one) and it turns your 4/70-200 into a 8/140-400 with only a minimum loss of quality. You still get AF as the Kenko doesn't register the aperture with the camera, but it does mean you'll have to compensate the expected exposure. You lose only IS and a stop or two at the aperture level. Saves you tons of money. And the 70-200 on its own offers better IQ than the 100-400.
Yeah, extension tubes are great. Diffraction hits after abt 40mm, so the MPE will be killer when I eventually get it.
I sold the 5D Mk2 m8 - it was too big and heavy - cumbersome for macro. Plus being full frame it really is suited to landscape and not macro. It's a lot harder to fill a frame on the 5 series. Cropped sensors are far better for macro workers.
How do you find a green dot one? It doesn't list that in the product name from what I can see?
