    Take note that this is the first generation EF 100 mm F2.8 Macro. It does not have USM. Not a handicap since most aquarist focus manually anyway. Other macro users (like insect, flowers) prefer the faster focusing on the USM version.

    Things to lookout for when buying a used lens for SLR cameras...

    To check for used lens, give a gentle shake. There should be no loose parts. Check for external signs of bumps or dents. It's an indication of the lens being dropped previously. Also try the to fit a filter on. If it does not fit properly, it also means that the lens was dropped previously and the filter cushioned the drop causing the filter threads to be damaged. Try to switch the lens to manual focusing and ensure the the manual focusing ring feels smooth and not restricted in anyway.

    Also, look at both the front and back lens element for signs for dust and fungus. Too much dust will also affect the pictures. Cleaning will cost you more than you think.

    Fit the lens on the camera and listen to the lens when focusing. It should not make funny noise. Then check the focus and see that it's indeed focusing properly and not out of alignment.

    Cheers,

    Chris have you tried a monopod? thought it would be more useful especially for aquaristics.

    anyway don't you need a hot shoe cord? three more sets to go

    monopod easier to rock forward and backward to get the "correct" focus.

    as for hot shoe cord, well your master flash may not/should not be on the hot shoe to avoid reflection?

    the kenko 2x can be used with EF mount lenses only (not ef-s).

    you can use it with f/4 or larger, cos once your f stop value > 5.6 on the lens, you lose AF capability (still can manual though).

    I tried 100mm macro with TCx3....hahah. only manual, AF tends to miss the sharp picture...

    Just FYI, if you're getting TC lens, get the best that you can possibly afford, like Canon/Nikon brand. Usually image quality suffer badly if you get those cheap one. I've this Kenko brand last time, but has since switch to branded one for better results.
