Hi Marlon, I can see one blurred key but the rest of the scene is indistinguishable. What is ti that you were focusing on here? Your focal length is listed as 5.7mm but did you mean 57mm? You used spot metering but where did you place the 'spot' to meter the scene? Depth of field at 2.8 is going to be very small. You are trying to take in a large area in the shot for a macro.

Hey Lee,

I was focusing on the "Piston Key Ring" hahaha I'm sorry I should have titled it differently. Yes my focal length is 5.7, and my spot was the piston. I wanted a small DOF so thats why I shot it at 2.8. The keys were just laying there, and I had just put the new lens on so they were my 1st target...and I just focused in on the piston because it really says who I am. Even though I work with Network systems all day, I am a grease monkey at heart!! Hahahaha...
