The depth of field is amazing. Most macro shots I take end up with a very narrow DOF because the aperture has to be wide open to accomodate a shutter speed that doesn't pick up camera shake or motion of the object (good luck trying to get a fish on macro).
I haven't tried going up to 1600ISO yet but I found even at 400ISO and 2x175W's over the tank I was trying to take pictures of I just cannot speed up the shutter speed any further. Anything slower than 1/30th of a second is going to pick up motion blur.
(I am stuck with 35mm for now ... no budget for a digital camera yet)
Do you use a tripod? Do you turn your current off to eliminate motion blur during any slower shutter speeds?
