That was the theme of the last dpr macro challenge.

This link might interest you re prosumers and DOF for macro work:

this is a bee shot I took with an FZ20 and a Nikon 4T close up filter (about 10" working distance for 1:1
I still prefer dslrs - higher success rate and usually better detail but there is no doubt you can get great results with prosumers.

Thanks BE- just playing as usual. The second one was a bit of a shock- I misread the exposure time as .15secs and sat there waiting for the shutter to close

Thanks Racketman,
Last thing I want to do is judge another contest- once was enough

Interesting re the P&S cameras- I obviously need an 8MB small sensor one with about an 11mm focal length and obviously macro capability. Actually was looking in completely the other direction Yesterday- It appears that if you get a large format lens and fit it on an appropriate movable tube you can use tilt to gain DOF- can't think of a way yet of holding the tilt in position though whilst shooting- need three hands.

That shot of your bee is excellent- all food for thought.

WOW Brian, These are NICE! I really like the self portrait reflection on the ornament, and think that would make a nice personalised Christmas card.
