    Before you remove the lens, are you setting the lens to the aperture value you want to shoot at, holding the DOF preview button while similtaneously removing the lens?

    That was the step I was missing. I understand now. Thanks!

    If you are using an EF lens, you are probalby shooting at f/1.8 still. In order to get the depth of field wider you really need to be shooting AT LEAST f/8 without flash, or right down to f/22 with flash. Before you remove the lens, are you setting the lens to the aperture value you want to shoot at, holding the DOF preview button while similtaneously removing the lens? If you look at my test shots, you will see what a large difference shooting with the aperture closed does for you!

    Awesome! I just got it!!!!
