  • 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.

  • I've had a go at this before and got decent results, but seems not a great option for anything that moves
