<p>[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2607533, member: 77077"]I am currently shooting 5-6 inches away without a problem, but maybe the ring light attached to the very end of the lens helps with that. I could see it would be a problem without the ring light providing most of the illumination. I also use manual shooting mode with 1/2 second shutter speed to get more depth of field. That lets you change the exposure time rather than try to get brighter lights. On dark bronzes I have used 10 second exposures to get it light enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
