[QUOTE="J-see, post: 360027, member: 31330"] I wouldn't mind additional light but I intensely dislike flash lights. It just annoys me. It can't keep up with continuous shooting either which I often do. I ordered led lights to see if they can solve the light problem. If I can get it going, I can use it like a ring of light but it'll be constant light which would also solve the continuous issue. I have a rough idea how to get it going but only when putting it into practice I'll know if it works. It shouldn't affect bugs since shadows scare them off, light should do the opposite. To their vision, the lights would phase me out. But all in all I don't mind shooting with the lens open. I'm of the opinion that instead of the whole image requiring sharpness, only the right parts need to be. When everything is sharp, everything is distracting. When the right parts are sharp, the eye automatically ignores the blurry parts and travels to the ones it can most easily make sense of. Evidently that doesn't work for every subject. Added there's also the problem of deterioration when closing the lens down. At some point, you're gradually trading DOF for fuzziness. One can wonder if that's worth an additional 0.5mm DOF. [/QUOTE]
