Sniper BB quality (with pics!)
 

Hey folks,

So I was playing around with my macro lens today on my new 5D... I scoured my immediate surroundings for items to photograph, and of course, bb's are always on hand. :P

For those snipers out there who've tried all sorts of bb's...

Here's a KSC perfect .20

The SGM's have a far superior finish and roundness. Expensive. but worth it. It's too bad I didn't have other brands lying around. Interesting stuff none the less, thought I'd share.

I wonder if the KSC 0.3s are the same as their 0.2s.

Cool pics, would be nice to have a comparison of different BB's, such as BB bastards, TM, KSC, Maruzen ect. with pics like these :D Actually shows alot about the quality.

Congrats on your new macro lens... and the 5D! Go Canon! ;)

So many details, I'm going nuts that BBs aren't actually as white!

Hey finally some other Canon users. Felt like everyone on this site is a Nikonian.

Which lens is that? I'd have to throw a diopter onto mine to get that close.

There are many Canon users both amateurs and pros (like myself), the thing is... that unlike Nikon users, we don't need to boast about what we got... because, well, it's better! Haha... *jokes*

Nikon is awesome too, I've just been using Canon as a pro since they entered digital.

Until you take a pic of yourself in the mirror, then it becomes a cheaper Chinese knock off known as the nonaC. :D
