[QUOTE="WeeHector, post: 338746, member: 14301"] Please see the additions I made to my previous reply. I generally work at ISO 800 and in good sunshine have no trouble getting down to f/16 if I'm photographing static objects, as I do a lot of the time to focus stack insects and spiders. Anything which is moving can usually be taken at f/5.6, though if I want a really fast shot, eg 1/3200th, I will usually do it with the 40mm on its own. It really boils down to what you want to shoot. As I've said, the only problem I've had with AF is that it will often reset itself, doing a full trip between shots and sometimes with the 55mm +36mm ring it isn't quite in focus and needs to be pulled out a little. In any case, anyone who does macro on a regular basis will tell you that AF is just a quick get-out which should then be shut off. As I never use a tripod, once I get a rough focus, I just move the camera to get the right setting. [/QUOTE]
