You get close up, you loose dof. Cheers, Gene -------------- Original message from "Jim Nichols" <jhnichols at lighttube.net>: -------------- I don't want to leave the impression that I am finding fault with the Elmarit-R 60/2.8 Macro. When used as it was designed to be used, it is capable of great images. It took me a little while to realize how it was intended to be used. The limited DOF when up close means that this range is useful only for flat, or relatively flat subjects. This suncatcher on our kitchen window is captured in great detail in the image below. The details in the glass are very good.
