[QUOTE="Vixen, post: 271917, member: 21839"] Not quite my problem. I'm using a Nikkor 105mm macro lens with an SB300 at the moment. It is quite good and works reasonably well for me at 1/320. I don't seem to suffer lens shadow. No....my main problem is I am unable to stay perfectly still. Doing handheld macro out in the bush means I am often twisted at odd angles, perched on rocks etc and as I can't be perfectly still on flat ground it's just harder in some situations. I just thought I might be able to get faster shutter speed to combat that. BUT....it looks like some of the advice & info I've been given will help me either overcome not being able to go over 1/320 or perfect using 1/320 to help eliminate the problem. I'm feeling more hopeful than I was when I asked the initial question. ;) [/QUOTE]
