New batch...
The DA*300 does a fair imitation of a macro... almost makes me want to try out one of those A/F extension tubes... not sure if the SDM would work though?
Definitely gives a little more working distance with things that might sting you, heh heh. About 2/3rd's of the original photo cropped out on this one, so basically apsc mode, but, composition wise, crop mode would not have given me what I wanted, and spot focus and re-compose gives awful focus in macro, everything moves, so, shoot FF and crop in post seems best for this sort of thing.
