Most were probably shot at f/5.6. Closest focus is about 2.3 feet, 
which is at 1:2, or about 45mm wide with the 40D. The nice thing 
about the 200 (or the 400/6.8 Telyt) is that you can choose your 
background. Also, that I don't have to get down on my knees as much. 
Getting down seems to work fine, but getting up is becoming an issue 
:-(.
