The idea of this list is for novice, intermediate, and experienced photographers to see macro-photographers with similar equipment, so they know to whom they may address specific questions for advice. In example: Raynox, or extension tubes, or reversed lens.

There are two reasons for forum members to ask "What equipment are you using?"
The first is so we can assist fellow macro-photographers address and improve their macro results.
The second is when the overall quality are so good, that we want to emulate the results, as in "How did you do that?".

When a forum member is consistently in the second category, he/she will be added to our 'Contributing Macro-Photographer List'.
