[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 147565, member: 6277"] If I am not mistaken it will just give you better close ups. But remember, the closer you are the less DOF you will have. Less in focus. Small objects= closer to camera = less DOF There is one thing you might want to learn and that is Focus Stacking. Not easy but it will give you the exact results you are looking for. One quick thing to do it to back up to about 3.5 feet or so and you can get about 12 inches total in focus. Then just crop to the size you want. I am assuming the object is about a foot from front to back. If is is say 6 inches then move the camera to about 2.5 feet away and all will be in focus. Just use the DOF Calculator to see where on the object to focus. In the last example (2.5 feet) you would have [TABLE="class: resultsTable, width: 100%"] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults, width: 55%"]Subject distance 2.5 ft [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults"][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="colspan: 2"] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults, colspan: 2, align: left"]Depth of field [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults"] Near limit 2.26 ft [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults, align: left"][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults"] Far limit 2.8 ft [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults, align: left"][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults"] Total 0.53 ft [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults, align: left"][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="colspan: 2"] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults"] In front of subject 0.24 ft (45%) [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults, align: left"][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="class: textClassResults"] Behind subject 0.3 ft (55%) [/TD] [TD="class: textClassResults, align: left"][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
