First and last are absolutely raped by too short dof.
Still, congratulations, macro is soo nice

Very much so. Like I said, I need to learn not to abuse DoF like that. I guess its habit to shoot at such a large aperture. I love shooting at 1.4-2.8 with my 50mm. But with this lens shooting that large of aperture turns around and bites me in the ass. Gimmie some time with the lens and I'll get it, I'm sure of it.

Absolutely
The trick for me is asking myself what the subject is, in your first one, is it the key? Then your dof should be wide enough to cover it, I just go by trial and error to find the right one but my guess would be ~16
In the last one, you should choose between front focus on one of the pieces or a long dof, trial and error there too I guess

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. But, as I said, these were the first shots with it. Didn't really compose the shots at all. I was just pointing and shooting. Really I can't wait until spring to go outside and start shooting things. I'm very excited for that.

same goes for me
I run around going crazy with my macro lens, shooting textile shots of my running shoes etc, I'll probably tro if I can get some pattern out of my wall tomorrow or so as well
The summer will be so awesome with a macro lens by my side

I agree to hestJaevel also, but indeed the macro looks amazing!!

Seems like nothing can be hidden from you guys, i better be careful

I love the dog food one glad you're having fun with it! That's the main thing!

Dog food? Don't you mean hamburger Chan? Haha... Seriously though, this lens is such a blast. Can't wait to get out and use it more, on more desirable subjects ofc...

Bigger /f and macro flash for sure
