[QUOTE="aroy, post: 436018, member: 16090"] That was a typo. The lens was set at 1.15x magnification. Explanation. My AIS 105mm F2.8 macro has an extremely tight helicoid, so it is practically impossible to rotate the focus ring in field. So I set it at a fixed focus; in this case maximum magnification; and then shoot. Focussing is by rocking back and forth till the image is sharp on view finder. F/44 ensures a decent DOF, and the external SB-800 enough light. Some how the light is rarely right, but PP in NX-D solves all the exposure problems. [/QUOTE]
