Macro Pictures
I got a new macro lens for my Alpha 55V
, and made a few test pictures in the recent days. I am quite happy with the color reproduction and the speed. The field of depth is surprisingly small when going to the 1:1 macro mode, so it is really hard to get the focus right. The autofocus function does not help much when using extreme magnification: the movement of the autofocus itself shakes the camera out of focus, so manual is better here. There are a few more pictures at Picasa, but these are not for everyone's taste: Ants, Annelids and Caterpillars...
