[QUOTE="J-see, post: 359599, member: 31330"] The plane of sharpness is much thinner I fear. This shot is at an angle me slightly higher than the bee. If you look at a close up of the head, you see it's pretty thin. [ATTACH=CONFIG]114610._xfImport[/ATTACH] Normally the closer you get, the less DOF there is. If I'd add a +2 to the lens, I'd end up with 4D which enables me to focus from 50 cm to 25 cm. But since the 25cm is from the bee to my sensor, I'd almost be bashing its head with the glass. I can't say yet how much I'll have to stop the lens down but I'll never have the same DOF with the aperture I use now. Probably I'll only have haze. Edit: I checked out an online DOF calculator and according that, at magnification 1:1 I should have a DOF of 0.93mm at f/11. 2.7mm at f/32. [/QUOTE]
