Personally, I use a glorified Sony point and shoot DSC-H5. I Just use the macro setting and set the aperture as big as possible, usually around f/2.8. Play around with your shutter speed too to get the your preferred exposure. Oh and as low an ISO as possible, 80 or 100 for me. Have fun and experiment!Quote:
