[QUOTE="MoreCowbell, post: 821105, member: 47352"] Thank you [I]BF[/I] and [I]Clovishound[/I] for your extensive response. More than I wanted to know ... ;) I may well try a couple things suggested by Clovis and perhaps upload a couple pics w/ associated settings. By "closeup", what I mean is pointing the lens at an object about a foot away. [B]Nothing is in focus[/B] !! If I can't figure out how to find a workable setting, I may have to splurge for the 105mm "micro" lens you mention. On that note, and just for the hell of it, can you pleae tell me the difference between these 2 lenses ($100 difference in price but they look superficially the same): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-105mm-Micro-Nikkor-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00005LE78[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-AF-S-Micro-NIKKOR-105mm-IF-ED/dp/B000EOSHGQ?th=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
