Hi all,

Just got a new Macro earlier today. I got to play with it for a few minutes. Its amazing how close this thing will focus.

Here is a picture of a hat that I'll be focusing on...

Then, I was able to focus this closely. This isn't a crop.

So cool. Makes me want to buy a macro lens even more now. I'll have to wait a bit so I don't spend all my available money, but sometime soon I'll be looking forward to doing great macro's like these. :)
