Going to try some macro work over the coming months -- some B&W and some color. (Hey, gotta do B&W for class. :-))
I have two zooms with Macro settings (yes, I know dedicated macro lenses are better, but these are what I have.) Pentax FA 28-70mm, looks like it goes to 1.3 ft. Actually it goes a bit closer than that (the focus ring turns a bit further than that) which is a bit confusing. And a Tokina AF 70-210mm that has a Macro setting that starts at 5 ft. and turns quite a bit closer (but it is very non-specific, I am guessing 1 ft?). Plan on doing tree bark, leaves, weeds, insects (if I can find any when it's not too cold for them), maybe water, but probably no flowers. I realize there may be no general advice for Macro work. But I am interested in hearing any, if you have any. I am always willing, and even eager, to pick this list's collective mind. Doe aka Marnie :-)
