I love these photos and want to make my own as I just happen to have some really pretty tumbles. What kind of lens are usually used for Macro photos like the ones on here? Would a 100mm do it?

wargrafix These are super pretty. How much more sanding will they get before you're done?

The variety geode boxes from the gem center really are great. And this is the first time I got agate goodness from their geodes

They look great already. The steps to go are 220, 400, 600, 1200, 2000, 2500, 3000, 5000 (where most of the ok stuff will end), 7000, 10,000 (The agate and really nice stuff) |
