@ josh, I get some decent shots and some nice macros with a conversion kit out of that lens ; and it depends by what you mean about "add a bit of photoshop". I did a levels tweak and a bit of sharpening, but it's OOC otherwise

ahh you have the IS version. my one doesnt have IS on it and looking at amazon, that stock lens is not even worth more than £20 brand new.

So what's your method of focusing on a spiderweb?

[j.o.s.h.1408]

manual focus

[Virtual Monkey]

Yeah, it's almost impossible otherwise since the camera ends up hunting forever, or focuses on whatever's behind the web.

The only way you could do it with AF is if there was a leaf or a dead bug or something substantial stuck in the web to focus on.
