ALKAPHUNK- is that straight off the camera? Does it go in that close - or did you crop it - either way that Nikon certainly is nice and sharp - and you certainly have a steady hand - great job!!!Quote:

Yes Geoff i croped it a bit to get in it more .
The 5900 allow me to stay around 3cm (4cm to get a lil' more focus depth)
On the test gallery (my signature) there's a shot of the bee cropped and full size to give an idea of how close you can get.
Aha - much like my C-740 then - can you change the focal length (zoom) in Macro mode?? The C-740 is fixed at equive 38mm - it works quite well. The A-200 is strange as it has either 28mm or small zoom of around 180 - 200 in macro at the wide end it's range is 30 - 60cm - not much help!! but at the tele end it's 25cm - 60Cm - which gives a decent close up - if not quite the very closest. But it is a bit strange, and normal focus is from 50cm - infinity - so the overlap is small and can result in it not wanting to focus if you are on the borderline in the wrong mode - I'm used to it now though and all I want now is an additional close up lens for the real close ups.Quote:

Yeah Geoff, same for me (as with lots of compacts cam i think) i can stay at 38mm or 41mm only these 2 positions.
I try to stay the closer i can to get focus OK and try not to move :o
Anyway as you say, it works quite good for me for now ;)
One more from yesterday's serie...
F/4.8 - 1/250s - cropped because bugs were 5mm or so..
