nice shots. can I check your working dist. from the subject. I can see from the EXIF that the focal length is 90mm. What lens are you using?

I think u already make the right guess already. I'm using Tamron 90mm. The working distance is around 35cm... not too sure the exact one but is around there.

Hi Jason,

Really appreciate your comments and advice!

I also hope tt i could go nearer. This little spider is around 1cm big. It is manual focus and adjust to 1:1 scale already and shot. It will occupy around 2/5 of the photo by estimation.

Could you help me to judge the sharpness of this photo? I crop it from the second photos by resize original photos 50% and crop out the spider portion. Is it due to skills / lens / image processing problem? If it is due to lens problem, then wanna to change the lens since it is still under 7 days 1 to 1 exchange...

Here is the exif of the photos:
ISO: 400, f/14, 1/125s

Thanks in advance!
