It was in M mode and If I could remember, about f9 for the first legged fly. iso was 400. I could have used a higher iso for smaller aperture, for better DOF. This K5 allows higher usable iso and makes macro lovers better opportunities for better IQ ie higher f numbers and faster shutter speed. I shall try f16 for A200 someday.:)
For A200 macro, shooting at f14 or f16 is a challenge as the lens requires greated flash power to illuminate the subjects/ and hence most were shot probably at f8 to max f11. Rarely do I go above that numbers to f16 for this lens.
I cannot say the same for shorter focal length. Below is a shot I took yesterday, one and only one:D. F16, Panagor macro 55 mm with 33mm extension tubes single flash lights. uncropped, monopod. Look carefully, one of the forelegs was shortened.:D

Yes, the increase in DOF is a mere mm increase and it makes a lot of difference to the image for macro shooters.
Sparkle, thank you for stopping by and your comments.

This shot is unique to me.. I took it with f4, wide open and somehow I like the OOF area. Focus being the eye area. A200 macro. Yes were right, the recommended aperture is in the range of f9 to f16 for macro.:);)

Thank You.:).. I have it cropped about 40 percent off to compose it as well.

Thank you. You wont go wrong with K5. That features of usable high iso with less noise, allows iso be be bumped up to 800, 1600.....allowing the use of higher shutter speed which is not feasible with my K10d as there will be obvious noise visible.:)
That makes a lot of difference to macro shooters like us as often we have to stop down to f8, f11 or f16.:)

Thank you for the equation. I tot its the K5 that makes the difference with higher usable iso and colors rendered.:D
Thanks once again.
