<p>[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 240749, member: 3813"]Macro might do it (really, it should), and then you'd crop the image. If I pull out ~600x800 piece, you get the image below (same image, just cropped and I got rid of some of the orange). This shot was taken on *the lowest* resolution for this camera.

But to expect sharp and clear macro shots from $25 worth of glass (sometimes plastic), is just unreasonable (~$25 being the amount the lens is worth on a $99 camera). Even this lens is only a $100 lens, but again, for the price it does a great job IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.spacechicken.net/images/morgancrop.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What is the model number?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
