Ten days ago my new macro lens arrived. I have been too busy to even attach it to my camera and take it for a test drive. This morning I finally decided to find out if I had purchased a lemon. I attached it to the camera and studied the manual. I have a copy stand and light setup. It took a while to get everything ready to take this picture. Next month there is going to be a camera club program on macro photography. I hope I learn a few things. It is going to take a lot of practice with this lens before I am entirely confident of my ability to use it.
