[QUOTE="nickt, post: 163205, member: 4923"] I would experiment, but first try would be the 90 from at least 2 feet away, iso 100, f16 on a tripod. Focus on the top edge. Use 2 second self timer so you don't shake the camera. Experiment with f-stop and more distance to get the depth of field. Picture will be small, not really a macro shot, but hopefully you have enough quality to crop/enlarge. Higher f-stop will give more depth of field, but at some point image will degrade from diffraction. Backing up will increase the depth of field too, but subject gets smaller. So you have to find the best aperture and distance and still get something that looks good after cropping. Here is a quick shot of my ring with my old 200mm kit lens that I was playing with today.
