[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 147562, member: 6548"] Reversing ring will allow you to more accurately produce it life size. (Remember this is a small figurine we are talking about not a full size animal..haha) 1" is WAY past close focus for the 18-55...and all other lenses too for that matter except specialty stuff. eg macro 1:1 (28/2.8 AIS is closest focusing Nikkor made and it is about 8 inches I think) Will it make your whole image in focus? I don't know but I bet it will be better than what you have. F22 is to extreme in my books but I do believe that F8 or even F11 is necessary for stuff like this...BUT I have no idea really haven't done any product photos except shooting my cameras in which case I use the 105 and stand 3 feet or so back...talk about DOF at F8! :) [/QUOTE]
