    just to tell you, macro is not for up close focus, its for maintaning close focus with something in the background out of focus


    pics of the camera?
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    you do that by using a larger aperature, eg f2.8 rather than f5.6

    i know but i mean just using it to take a picture up close with nothing the the bachkgroung wont do anything the whole point of macro is to have a shallow depth of field
