True, but it's frustrating with macro stuff because it often looks great on camera and then turns out the focus is totally off when you get it onto a computer.
I think one of the problems is my hands just aren't steady enough, even when shooting with flash. Most of the best results I've got resting camera on a beanbag.
(plus with dead/barely moving creatures).
Get great pictures with that lens when it's with slightly bigger stuff - e.g. this baby wren my neighbour rescued.
Take a look at focus stacking. There is such a short focal length on macro lenses that you sometimes need to take multiple images and adjust the focus between shots and then combine them in software.
