[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 358509, member: 12496"] What's wrong with your macro shots? Probably it is just the understanding that extreme macro shots have virtually no depth of field, so that makes them difficult. For starters, when up extremely close, it needs about f/16 aperture to get any depth at all. Extreme close up is NOT your average snapshot, it needs some special attention. I am suggesting you stay with the macro lens. Talk to us more about your problems, show us some samples.. Maybe we can help with using it? A close up filter on the other lens (with thread size to fit the filter threads) will allow it to focus closer. See Close Up Filter at B&H or Amazon. The better closeup filters have two elements and cost more. You also have to stop the lens well down for best optical performance. They will not approach 1:1 macro closeup distance, but they will focus considerably closer than without the filter. The macro lens will also focus at this same farther out distance, and surely will be superior to the filter. See [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=close-up+filter+tips"]close-up filter tips - Google Search[/URL] about using them. See [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=macro+lens+tips"]macro lens tips - Google Search[/URL] about using the macro lens. [/QUOTE]
