I recently picked up a macro lens and have just begun to play with it.
None of my shots are as sharp and crisp as I would like. :dunno
Just wondering if there are any other Nikon 105 users out there that might wish to share their technique.

    Huh, really? The 3rd and 4th look pretty darned sharp to me! eek7.gif

    I love the reflections in the 5th, but I agree that they seem a touch underexposed. At least on the monitor I'm viewing them with now.

    If you get any sharper, I'll just have to give up and sell all my equipment.
