[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 459568, member: 10304"] Mr Magoo those are great shots, focus following your final tweak in the camera, it spot on, and lighting is good. When I compare those to some of the shots you see from commercial vendors, they are heaps better and if a buyer wasn't happy with that image of a stone I don't know what they would be happy with. The 60mm lens can get a heap closer, start by hand holding to gauge the distance, go in a lot closer then turn the 1:1 button on the left of the lens anti-clockwise, it'll spring back but that takes you into the 1:1 range, then let it pull the focus in. This shot of a troublesome facet was done using the 1:1, hand held so it's a bit soft, but it gives an idea of how close the lens will go.
