[QUOTE="Jim McClain, post: 351646, member: 31047"] I recently made some pictures of budding plants in a garden that was surrounded by fencing. I had to be inside the fence to shoot, but some of the better plants were in the first row. My D5300 would not focus or even fire the shutter, even though I was pretty sure I was at or further away than the minimum focus distance of 1.3' of my 16-85mm. It happened again when I tried to take a shot of part of a computer I am building. It leads me to believe the minimum focus distance is closer to 1.9', which I was unable to do in the garden. I'm not interested in shooting tiny objects and making them really big. But I would like to be able to fill the frame with objects the size of your fist or forearm. Another concern is versatility too. I don't want a lens that will only be used on very rare occasions. Thank you, Jim [/QUOTE]
