[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 147570, member: 6277"] That would still only get him closer which would only give him less depth of field. He has the same camera and lens that I do. The close focus for the kit lens is 11 inches at 55.. He said in one post he was shooting at about a foot and he is getting the entire head in the shot. He is not going to be able to get the DOF he needs shooting this close. Going to have to back up and then crop. If he gets really good lighting, using ISO 100 and focus properly the crop should not be noticeable with the D5100. Especially with product photography. That would never be printed over 8x10 MAX. This gets him what he wants and does not cost him any money. You should appreciate that If I remember some of your posts. :) [/QUOTE]
