[QUOTE="nickt, post: 279183, member: 4923"] You could go higher on the f-stop. At some point going too high in f stop, your image will degrade. Not sure at what point for your lens is too high. How is your shutter speed? If you shutter speed is slow and your tripod is not so solid, you can get some shake when you take the picture. If that is a possibility, then get your shutter up to 1/100 or faster. Your shutter speed is probably fine, sounds like you have good light. Backing up to about 2 feet is my best suggestion. It adds an extra step of cropping your image, but it should insure all depths are in focus. Use iso 100. You could try manual focus. Focus on a mid-height component, so things a bit closer or farther are still in focus. Or focus on a particular detail that you know your customer needs to see. I don't think you would do any better with a macro for these types of shots. [/QUOTE]
