This is a fantastic macro, Ronald, the softness around the edges is superb! #3941603Ronald F. Fischer February 12, 2007
Thank you very much Manuel! I have found that with the full frame sensor on the Canon 5D, the DOF is very shallow with my Sigma 50mm macro lens, even at a higher f-stop! #3941633Tamera S. Phillips February 12, 2007
