[QUOTE="N_Addy, post: 73686, member: 9985"] Getting focus at close ranges will be your limiting factor. Experiment with focus at 18 and 55 (I assume you have an 18-55?) and see how close you can get. One way to do close-up with a non-macro lens is to use an [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824797-REG/Dot_Line_DL_MEX_N_Manual_Extension_Tube_Set.html"]extension tube[/URL] between the camera and lens. This increases the focal length and lets you get in closer. I haven't done this myself but I've seen examples from those who have. It works fairly well. EDIT: Note that less expensive extension tubes disable your auto-focus capability. You'll need to manual focus with them. [/QUOTE]
