Bruce, Good point. I still love the PZ1p though. For macro, I just shoot at small apertures for greater DOF. The more macro I've shot, the better I've become at determining best aperture for the effect I want. Also, bracket, bracket, bracket, however; having enough light in the absence of wind is a problem lots of times. Maybe the latest Pentax ring flash would help...uh oh, getting off topic.
