[QUOTE="J-see, post: 418276, member: 31330"] It's been a while since I last shot macro but while I preferred to get as close as possible when I started, by the end of the season, I rather took a bit of distance and went for a lower magnification. DoF is so thin at 1:1 (or more) that it's very hard to place it correctly. I also used the focus ring itself as little as possible. I set it to what I wanted and then moved in and out myself to get sharp focus. That way it is easier to stabilize the lens and all I need to do to adjust focus is lean a bit in or out. It worked for me. [/QUOTE]
