For those of you who shoot macro I would like to know if you insist on at least a 1:1 shot or would you rather back up a bit and crop for better DOF? I, in the past, have preferred backing up a bit and cropping but today I got as close to this spider as he would let me. Not at the minimum focusing distance but fairly close. This spider is teeny, teeny, looking like not much more than a speck on the side of the garage but even with his tiny size the whole spider is not in sharp focus even at f/18 with the 180mm lens. So as for myself I will go back to backing away a bit and cropping more so more of the insects and spiders I shoot will be in sharper focus. Most of the things I shoot will also be MUCH larger than this spider.
