[QUOTE="J-see, post: 418488, member: 31330"] I've shot most my macros with the D3300 and they need to be sharp but there's some room for error when you know how to cheat in post. I usually shot bursts at an as high shutter as possible and at rather wide apertures for what is common in macro. If you close too far, things get fuzzy too. I tested it with my D3300 months ago and somewhere between f/8 and f/11 diffraction becomes visible. I shot text while closing down which makes it easier to notice than during normal shots. I used the lens at its sharpest aperture and that was it. If the shot is sharp, crop is an option and you can double those pixels in PS without too much difference. If you shoot bursts, you can take parts of the one to blend into the other and people will think you're good at macro while you're actually better at cheating. ;) [/QUOTE]
