[QUOTE="J-see, post: 385285, member: 31330"] I don't think your zoom will reach 1:1. I used my 70-300mm before my macro and it didn't get that same magnification. It was also very impractical since your shooting angles are very limited and you need binoculars to see the bugs. But it gets your some closer. Focal length is of little importance, magnification is. An 800mm will not get more magnification than your macro no matter how hard you try to zoom in. Zoom ratio is of no importance since that is not the same as magnification ratio. For DoF it shouldn't matter much since length is irrelevant to it. At 1:1 a 40mm has the same DoF as a 200mm. [/QUOTE]
