if you need a close focusing lens the cheapest way is to get a diopter- looks like a screw on filter- it will allow you to take macro shots with practically any lens-if you reverse a lens as suggested you will be almost touching your subject with the glass of your lens and depth of field is nonexistent-see how little of the coin is sharp- again a tripod is best- if you do not have one hold your camera with your elbows tight against chest and create a tripod with your body

Actually, you're wrong, you can get plenty of DOF with a reversed lens, you just need to stop down your lens as much as possible. I like the very narrow DOF on that picture, but that's with my lens at f/3.3, with my lens at f/22, almost the entire coin is focussed perfectly.

pu ekok -no you are wrong i have a degree in photography and teach photography at 2 universities- a reversed lens is the last alternative to doing macro work-stop your lens all the way down and measure your depth of field it will be shallow at its best- any amature would have a very difficult time using a revesed lens- subject matter way to close to lens for most folk-

am i the only person that takes pics of almost all their new buds? everytime i get new bud,it usually(99 out 100) is worth taking a pic of. Even if you dont like photography, i would do it just as a visual record of nugs youve smoked. well here is some new bud..... they werent the best looking a little on the dry side so i rolled up a fat ass joint, almost didnt want to get out of my car when i was done toking!:rasta: imp: :smokin: :stoned:

Dear god, you are a photography professor?

By the way, why didn't you say that the first time?

Well here are two shots of a cancer stick, one at f/3.3, one at f/22.

Try to tell me the DOF of the f/22 shot is shallow...

(P.S. I know the f/3.3 shot is not focussed at all, I was rushed. We already know f/3.3 makes a very shallow DOF, as seenin coin pic)
