Gary,
I am also in the process of starting macro photography of small high-tech
things and am considering buying photofloods. What do you use? 3000K bulbs
and 80A filters? Or daylight bulbs? How many watts?
I found an article on the web, which describes photography of small things.

I will come back to the list with some pictures when I'm thru.
Best regards,
Claes
