[QUOTE="nickt, post: 639023, member: 4923"] Like Blacktop said, distance to the sensor. Once in awhile, you will come across a macro that lists 'working distance', that would be from the front of the lens. Its a more meaningful number when comparing lenses. As for distance, I back up a bit. I try for the highest aperture possible, usually use flash to get that high aperture. Depth of field is very thin, even at higher apertures. Backing up a bit gets more in focus. Most of our cameras have enough pixels to crop a good bit and still have a decent image. Getting as close as possible isn't always the best way. [/QUOTE]
