Which is to a large part why I don't want to spend $500-800 on a new flash! Sometimes when I take shots of my wife's preschool class, I want more DOF than available light allows, and I am thinking of trying macro with it either with a viso or a macro adapter, if I could find one used. (I can get pretty close with the 75mm, too.) Of course, a cheap canon dslr with an R adapter might be an easier choice for macro.
